To resolve Word page size modification issues, first find the Size option in the Layout or Page Layout tab, select a standard size, or set the width and height via Custom Size. If the document does not change after the page size changes, it may be due to section breaks, fixed margins, or text box restrictions. You should check the section breaks and adjust them section by section, or modify the text box manually. If the page does not match during printing, you need to check whether the printer driver settings are consistent with the document and confirm whether the default settings of the template affect the output effect.

Not changing the page size is a common problem when using Word. In fact, the operation is very simple. The key is to find the correct setting position. Here are some common situations to talk about how to adjust the page size.

Where to adjust the page size?

The most direct way to change the page size in Word is to find the "Size" option in the "Layout" or "Page Layout" tab. After clicking, a bunch of standard paper sizes will pop up, such as A4, Letter, Legal, etc. Just choose one.

If you need a custom size, click "More Paper Size" or "Custom Size" and enter the width and height you need in the pop-up window. Note that the unit is centimeters by default, and it can also be changed to inches or other units.

Why does the page size change and the document look unchanged?

Sometimes you obviously change the page size, but the content of the document does not seem to change. This may be because:

• Section breaks are inserted into the document, causing different page settings to be used in different sections.
• Used a text box with fixed margins or manually set text boxes, and the content is "locked".
• Page settings are locked, which may be document protection or style restrictions.

When you encounter this situation, you can check if there are section breaks (it is easier to see when switching to the Draft view), and then modify the page size section by section. If you use a text box, manually adjust its size and position.

What should I do if the page size does not match when printing?

Some users reported that A4 was set in Word, but the printout was still wrong. This may not be a problem with Word, but the printer driver settings overwrite the document settings. At this time, you can click "Printer Properties" in the print preview interface to confirm whether the paper size is consistent.

In addition, some templates or documents downloaded from the Internet may come with specific page settings. It is recommended to check them all together before saving to avoid printing errors.

Basically that's it. It is not difficult to change the page size, but you should pay attention to whether the document structure and printing settings are adjusted simultaneously.
