How to Change a Document Paper Size for Printing
You can change a document paper size for a new file or for an existing one.
Paper Size Limitations in Word
For U.S. versions of Microsoft Word, the default paper size is 8.5 inches by 11 inches. While you probably print most of your letters, reports, and other documents on this size paper, changing the page size in Word to use a different-size paper is a straighforward task. Word does not place many limitations on page size or orientation. There is a good chance that your printer sets greater limitations on the paper you use than Word does, so before you make any changes to the page size, you should consult your printer documentation. It may save you a lot of frustration in the long run.
How to Set Up a Customized Paper Size
If you don’t see the size you want in the drop-down menu, set up any specific size you want. Word 365 is a bit different. Set the Paper size to custom, and then set the various parameters in the Paper, Margins, and Layout tabs. Then Click OK.
