Hi Steve, are you referring to printing the image on the index layout? If so, I don't think their is a way to change their layout to fit your frame. I would measure out all the margins and spaces for the frame and build a template for it in Elements. I use to use Easy Photo print all the time but now that I have learned so much on Elements I do it there.

Howdy:
I will respectfully suggest to all to buy Photoshop Elements 5 book for Digital Photographers by Master Scott Kelby. I had bought many,many books on digital photography and NONE of them can come close to teach the way Scott Kelby do. All what I have learn on Digital photography I have learned from this book what ever you need is there explainded so well that even me have been able to learn it. This book is worth every penny. You will fine how to resize pictures there and more. There is a whole chapter dedicated to the subject from pg.76 to pg.109 that's 33 pages. So here is how is done on
page 84:
It is called cropping to an Exact Custom Size:
Open the photo you want to resize on Editor (I use full Edit) then press the letter "C" to get the crop tool, in the option bar you see fields for Width and Height Enter the size you want your picture followed by the unit of measure (I use "in" for inches). Now get the crop tool and drag it over your picture, now move the frame around to get the area of the image you want and Bingo you get it, if you don't like it go to Edit undo and try again. This and many,many more tricks are thought in the book. Hope this haelp.
