Well, I eat crow. Thanks Abhilash LOL
Abhilash is correct and I need to read the threads a bit more carefully. The option is "No Printer (optimize for screen display). As the printer driver dependency is removed, the paper size information is not propagated on export and thus paper size defaults to 8 1/2 X 11 inches (as it has to default to something). This is true for all paper sizes and export formats. I tested the above with Legal paper size and 4'' X 6'' paper size. Export to XLS, DOC and PDF.
E.g.; once again, note to self; trust Abhilash
