My page in word is small

The Microsoft Word logo.

To change the paper size in Microsoft Word, open the «Layout» tab, click «Size,» and then select your desired paper size from the list. To change the page size of part of a document, click «More Paper Sizes» and change the «Apply to» drop-down box to «This Point Forward.»

Documents come in different shapes and sizes, like legal or brochure. In Word, you can change the paper size to fit the type of document you’re working on, or change the default paper size for all new documents. We’ll walk you through it!

Change the Paper Size of a Document

When you’re ready to change the paper size of a Word file, open the document and navigate to the “Page Setup” group in the “Layout” tab. Here, click “Size.”

A drop-down menu appears in which you see a generous list of paper sizes. Just select an option from this list to change the paper size of the entire document.

Change the Paper Size from a Specific Point Onward

There might be times when you need to use two different paper sizes in the same Word document. You can easily accomplish this in just a few steps.

First, make sure your cursor is where you want the new paper size to start. If that happens to be in the middle of a page, it will simply move to a new page after you select the new size.

This is legal size

Next, head back to the “Page Setup” group of the “Layout” tab and click “Size” again. This time, though, instead of selecting an option from the list, click “More Paper Sizes” at the bottom of the menu.

Here, in the “Paper” tab of the “Page Setup” dialog box, select the size you want under “Paper Size.”

At the bottom of the dialog box, click the drop-down arrow next to “Apply to,” click “This Point Forward,” and then click “OK.”

The location in which you had your cursor now appears on a new page with the new paper size.

The new paper size you select begins on a new page.

Word’s default paper size is “Letter,” which is 8.5 x 11 inches. If you use a different size more frequently than the default, you can change the default size of all new documents. This way, you won’t have to change the paper size of each new document you create.

To do this, go to Layout > Size > More Paper Sizes. In the “Page Setup” dialog box, click “Paper,” and then click the drop-down arrow next to “Paper Size.”

Select the paper size you want to make the default for all future documents.

At the bottom of the dialog box, click “Set As Default.”

A message appears asking you to confirm the change; click “Yes.”

Click “OK” to close the Page Setup dialog box. Next time you open Word, the paper size will be the one you just selected.

Как в Ворде изменить формат листа

Необходимость изменить формат страницы в программе Microsoft Word появляется не так часто. Тем не менее, когда такая задача возникает, далеко не все пользователи программы понимают, как сделать страницу больше или меньше установленного стандартна. В нашей сегодняшней статье расскажем именно об этом.

Изменение размера страницы в Ворде

По умолчанию Word, как и большинство текстовых редакторов, предоставляет возможность работы на стандартном листе формата А4, но в случае необходимости его всегда можно изменить как на больший, так и на меньший, причем делается это буквально в несколько кликов.

  1. Откройте документ, формат страниц в котором необходимо изменить. На панели быстрого доступа перейдите во вкладку «Макет».

    Примечание: В старых версиях текстового редактора необходимые для изменения формата инструменты располагаются во вкладке «Разметка страницы».

  2. Нажмите на кнопку «Размер», расположенную в группе «Параметры страницы».

  4. Выберите подходящий формат из списка в выпадающем меню.

    В некоторых случаях список поддерживаемых текстовым редактором форматов может отсутствовать в этом меню. Не стоит исключать и того, что ни один из представленных вариантов вас попросту не устроит. Столкнувшись с подобной проблемой, воспользуйтесь пунктом «Другие размеры бумаги», а затем выполните следующее:

    Параметры страницы в word

    Во вкладке «Размер бумаги» окна «Параметры страницы» в одноименном разделе выберите подходящий формат (здесь их перечень тоже может отсутствовать) или задайте размеры вручную, указав ширину и высоту листа (в сантиметрах).

    Примечание: В разделе «Образец» можно увидеть масштабированный пример страницы, размеры которой вы изменяете.

    Вот стандартные значения актуальных форматов листов (значения указаны в сантиметрах, ширина по отношению к высоте):

    Формат листа Размеры в см.
    A10 2,6х3,7
    A9 3,7х5,2
    A8 5,2х7,4
    A7 7,4х10,5
    A6 10,5х14,8
    A5 14,8х21
    A4 21х29,7
    A3 29,7х42
    A2 42х59,4
    A1 59,4х84,1
    A0 84,1х118,9

    Важный для некоторых пользователей недостаток рассматриваемого нами сегодня текстового редактора заключается в том, что он не позволяет задавать слишком маленькие и большие размеры для страниц. Если быть более точным, минимальное и максимальное значение сторон упирается в 0,26 и 55,87 см соответственно, что немного не дотягивает до относительно распространенного формата A2. Получается, из стандартных в Ворде можно установить только значения, соответствующие форматам от A10 до A3, а также произвольные, которые вписываются в интервал, показанный на скриншоте ниже.

    Формат листа изменится, заполнив его, вы сможете сохранить файл, отправить по электронной почте или распечатать на принтере. Последнее возможно лишь в том случае, если МФУ поддерживает заданный вами формат страницы. Более подробно об особенностях данной процедуры написано в отдельной статье на нашем сайте.

Как видите, изменить формат листа в Microsoft Word совсем несложно. К сожалению, без ограничений не обошлось, а потому приходится довольствоваться доступными размерами, и если минимальный вряд ли кому-то потребуется, то максимального, совсем немного не дотягивающего до A2, наверняка будет достаточно не всем.

You can use Microsoft Word to create documents in different formats and sizes. You can choose from the standard sizes built into Word. The other possibility is to customize the dimensions according to your requirements.

By default, a new Word document uses an A4 size sheet, measuring 8.27 inches by 11.69 inches. Schools and offices use the A4 size most for printing presentations. But documents can be larger or smaller in comparison to A4. Also, the user might want to change the page size of the document for printing.

It is always possible to print on a larger paper using a special printer setting. But if your printer does not allow that, the only option is to change the size of the document in Word.

The process is very simple and you only have to follow the steps in our instructions. You can change the size of all the pages while working on a Microsoft Word document. Sometimes, you may want to change the size of a specific page inside a document.

Thus, you may set up a custom page size for:

  • All pages in a document
  • Specific pages in a document

We will show you both the methods.

Let us begin.


Method #1: Custom page size for all pages in a document.

Step #1: Open the document

Open the Word document for which you want to change the page size. The document could be new or an existing one. The process is the same for both.

Click on the Layout tab on the top menu bar to change the ribbon.

Step #2: Select a standard page size

In the Page Setup section, click on the Size icon. This will open various selections for page size.

You can select from standard sizes like: 

  • Letter (8.5” x 11”)
  • Tabloid (11” x 17”)
  • Legal (8.5” x 14”)
  • Statement (5.5” x 8.5”)
  • Executive (7.25” x 10.5”)
  • A3 (11.69” x 16.54”)
  • A4 (8.27” x 11.69”)
  • A5 (5.83” x 8.27”)
  • B4(JIS) (10.12” x 14.33”)
  • B5(JIS) (7.17” x 10.12”)

Step #3: Select a non-standard page

Click on More Paper Sizes. This will open the Page Setup dialog.

Click on the Paper tab.

Under Paper size, click on the downward arrow. Scroll down and click on Custom Size.

Enter your desired Width and Height of the page in inches.

Click on the downward arrow next to Apply to:. Word offers two options:

  • Whole document—The page size applies to all the pages in the document.
  • This point forward—The page size applies to all pages following the cursor.

Click on Whole document.

Click on Ok to exit the dialog.

Word changes all the pages in your document to your custom size.


Method #2: Custom page size for specific pages in a document

Step #1: Open the document

Click on the View tab on the top menu bar to change the ribbon.

Step #2: Increase the number of pages on display

In the Zoom section, click on Multiple Pages.

Drag the Zoom slider in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen to the left side.

This will increase the number of pages Word is displaying on the screen.

Place the cursor at the beginning of the page you want to change.

Step #3: Change the page size

Click on the Layout tab in the top menu bar to change the ribbon.

In the Page Setup section, click on Size.

This will open various selections for page size.

Click on More Paper Sizes. This will open the Page Setup dialog.

Click on the Paper tab.

Under Paper size, click on the downward arrow. Scroll down and click on Custom Size.

Enter your desired Width and Height of the page in inches.

Click on the downward arrow next to Apply to:. Word offers two options:

  • Whole document—The page size applies to all the pages in the document.
  • This point forward—The page size applies to all pages following the cursor.

Click on This point forward.

Click on Ok to exit the dialog.

Word changes the size according to your choice for all pages following the cursor.

Step #4: Revert to original page size for the rest of the document

Place the cursor at the beginning of the page from where you want to revert to the original size.

Repeat Step #3, only this time enter the original Width and Height of the pages.

Word changes the rest of the pages in the document to their original size.


Conclusion

We have shown you how to change to a custom page size for all pages or for a few pages of your document. Follow our instructions step by step for easily implementing the change in page size.

Mine started shrinking and zooming up. I can go back to the normal size using the bar, but it is very annoying. How can I prevent it changing the size? I do not know what I am doing wrong. I am not touching Ctrl key or anything. The size changes on its own in the middle of typing.

Have you attempted to print a document in Word 2013, only to wind up with a page containing a much smaller version of that document? This is due to a page size that has been modified by the person that created the document, often due to the size of paper on which they were printing.

In some cases a smaller page scale can be helpful for fitting a specific need but, more often than not, you will modify a document with the intention of printing it at its’ default size. Fortunately it is a simple change in order to fix the page size in Word 2013.

Print at the Correct Page Size in Word 2013

The steps below are specifically for Microsoft Word 2013, but the same idea applies to earlier versions of Word as well. If a document is printing very small, then it is due to the page size being set at a smaller size than the paper size that you are actually using. The steps below will show you how to switch the page size to the size of the paper that you are actually using, so that it prints as it should.

Step 1: Open the document in Word 2013.

Step 2: Click the Page Layout option at the top of the window.

click the page layout tab

Step 3: Click the Size button in the Page Setup section of the navigational ribbon, then select the size of paper on which you are actually printing your document.

click size, then choose the correct page size

The layout of your pages should now reflect how they will appear when you print them on the correct paper size. You can click the File tab at the top-left of the window, then click Print to see a preview of the document.
