Word 2007: How to Change Paper Size

December 9th, 2008 | by Loren |

A good question came through the comments. Beth G. asked:

Does anyone know if it is possible to create a larger document in Word than the standard 8.5 X 11? I would like to create a document that is 11 X 17.

You can change the paper size of your document through the Page Layout tab, Page Setup group. Clicking the Size button will give you a list of preset paper sizes. It includes a Ledger that is 11 x 17, perfect for Beth’s use.

If none of those presets fit your needs, you can create a custom paper size by choosing the More Paper Sizes at the very bottom of the Size list. It will open the Page Setup box, where you can set a custom paper size through the Paper tab’s Paper size section. The list of preset page sizes is the same as the list in the Size button.

    i have changed my new word 7 to correspond with my printing needs in Israel – Page Size is A4 and margins etc. are written in cm.

    HOWEVER, the program seems to have a mind of its own and behaves inconsistently sometimes not responding to the page size command I give even though it appears to be correct on the screen. I can see that it prints as if the page is smaller and reduces the print accordingly.

    When I do “print preview” it shows that the print is covering the full page but it shows LETTER size in inches even tho I’ve changed to cm and changed size to A4.

    But like i said this is not consistent and sometimes it prints as ordered.

    what the heck is going on? HELLLLP PLEASE!
