Print on a different paper size
You can use Page Setup to change the paper size for an existing document, but Word doesn't automatically fit each page to the new size. You may need to fit the pages manually by adjusting the document's page breaks and layout. With Word's Zoom feature, you can print a document on a different paper size without making permanent adjustments to the layout.

Zoom automatically scales each page of the document to fit the new paper size. For example, to print an 8 1/2 by 11 inch letter-sized document on A5 (148 x 210 mm) paper, follow these steps:
1. Go to File | Print.
2. Click the Scale To Paper Size drop-down list under Zoom, and select A5.
3. Make any other print selections, and click OK.
Zoom automatically scales the document's fonts, graphics, and margins to print on the smaller A5 paper, while retaining all of the original document's page layout and page break settings.
