How to set the Paper Size in a Microsoft Word Document
When you are writing a document in Microsoft Word, you may find it necessary from time to time to change the paper size for your document. You will need to do this when you have a document that you want to print on legal-sized paper, such as a long form that you do not want to break up into more than one page. Publishing companies use this function to set the pages of a document to the correct format to send to their printer.

The pages now open so small and can't see the writing on them... something new. Want to fix it in settings and NOT every time I open a new word doc.
