Changing Paper Size

Word assumes that you want to print on 8 1/2x11-inch paper, but it can adjust to most other standard sizes, and you can even set a custom size if you like.

To print on a different paper size, follow these steps:

1. Choose File, Page Setup to display the Page Setup dialog box.

2. Click the Paper tab if it isn't already in front.

3. Display the Paper Size drop-down list and choose the desired size. (If you are printing on a nonstandard paper size, choose the last option, Custom Size , and then type the width and height of your paper in the Width and Height text boxes.)

4. Click OK .

Just as when you change margins or paper orientation, the rulers change to reflect the new paper size. Depending on the size, you may need to change the Zoom setting to avoid having to scroll horizontally.
