Word displays the File tab of the ribbon with the printing controls visible. If you are using Word 2010, Word 2013, or Word 2016, then the printing process is different: Specify any other printing options, as desired.(Use a setting of No Scaling if your output paper is the same as the paper size you used when you formatted your document.) Use the Scale to Paper Size drop-down list (lower-right corner) to specify the paper on which your document will be printed.To take advantage of this feature, follow these steps if you are using Word 2007: This is very similar to a reduction setting on a copier. This means you can format something for legal size, but instruct Word to scale the output so it will fit on letter size. What do you do if you can't get any legal paper right away? You could reformat the document for letter-size paper, but that may not be the best solution.įortunately, Word includes a feature that allows you to independently specify a target paper size and an output paper size. You decide to print the document, and discover you are out of legal paper. It is 35 pages long, and designed to be printed on legal-size paper.
You have been working on your document for hours.
