How to Enlarge Pages in Microsoft Word
Microsoft Word's default page size is 8.5 by 11 inches, or "letter size," which is the most common size in American offices. But Word supports several other document sizes as well -- helpful when specific printing jobs require you to use longer legal sheets or larger tabloid sheets. A printed poster needs an even larger page while printed index cards need smaller ones. With Word, you can either choose from a list of standard formats or set your own custom size.
Click "Page Layout" in the Word ribbon.
Click "Size" in the Page Setup group.
Click "More Paper Sizes" to open the Page Setup dialog box.
Select a size from the "Paper Size" dialog box or enter your own size in the "Width" and "Height" boxes.
