SETTING PAPER SIZE IN WORD

If you want to change the size of paper your text prints on or to change the orientation of your page you can change the settings under the Paper Size tab of the Page Setup window:

Choose your paper size from the drop-down list below the words Paper size.  Click on the arrow to the right of this box to display the alternatives.  At the bottom of the list there is a Custom Size option.  If you choose this option you can set your own values for the Width and Height of your page.

To change the orientation of your page you can click to place a bullet beside the word Portrait or Landscape in the Orientation section.  A portrait page has the short edge at the top as shown in the window above, a landscape page has the long edge at the top (i.e. rotated through 90°) and is useful for presenting tables, etc.  If you use the Apply to box you can set the page layout to change from the point you are at onwards, this means that you could turn, say, page 3 of your document to be landscape and then set it back to portrait on page 4 using this setting.

When you have finished setting your paper size and orientation, click the OK button to return to your document.

To see how to enter details in the window above, click on the appropriate tab at the top of this image.  eg if you want to see how to set the margins, click on the Margins tab above.
