In Word, you may want to change elements of
your page layout depending on the type of

00:00:13.219 --> 00:00:16.600
document you're working on, and how you plan
to print it.

00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:21.679
For example, the orientation on this job application
is landscape (or horizontal), but it's not

00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:23.310
really working for me.

00:00:23.310 --> 00:00:27.619
The form is getting cut off at the bottom
and continuing onto a second page.

00:00:27.619 --> 00:00:32.590
I'd like to change the orientation to portrait
(or vertical) instead.

00:00:32.590 --> 00:00:35.840
To do this, to the Layout tab.

00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:39.700
Then click Orientation… and choose Portrait.

00:00:39.700 --> 00:00:44.080
The text is still continuing onto the second
page, but that's okay.

00:00:44.080 --> 00:00:48.070
I'm planning to print this on legal paper,
which is bit bigger than normal, so I'm going

00:00:48.070 --> 00:00:51.370
to change the paper size now to reflect that.

00:00:51.370 --> 00:00:55.920
Just click Size… and choose a paper size
from the menu.

00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:59.180
There, that's much better.

00:00:59.180 --> 00:01:03.010
You can also choose a custom size for your
document if that's what you need.

00:01:03.010 --> 00:01:07.939
For example, here's an invitation that's going
to be printed on special 5x7 card stock.

00:01:07.939 --> 00:01:14.310
To choose a custom size, just click the command
again… then click More Paper Sizes at the

00:01:14.310 --> 00:01:16.619
bottom.

00:01:16.619 --> 00:01:22.700
Here you can adjust the width or the height
to anything you need.

00:01:22.700 --> 00:01:29.370
When you're done, click OK to save and close
the dialog box.

00:01:29.370 --> 00:01:32.079
Let's switch back to our job application.

00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:36.439
You can customize the page layout even more
by adjusting the margins.

00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.479
All you have to do is click the Margins command.

00:01:39.479 --> 00:01:45.479
Here you can choose one of the predefined
sizes… or, as with paper size, you customize

00:01:45.479 --> 00:01:48.359
your margins depending on what you need.

00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:54.450
Just go back to the Margins command… then
click Custom Margins.

00:01:54.450 --> 00:01:57.579
The Page Setup dialog box will appear.

00:01:57.579 --> 00:02:07.289
I'm going to make the margins just a little
bit wider at .75 inches, instead of .50.

00:02:07.289 --> 00:02:09.800
When you're done, click OK.

00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:14.830
Did you notice anything special about the
Page Setup dialog box?

00:02:14.830 --> 00:02:18.940
The truth is, it's not just for margins—it
lets you adjust all the layout options that

00:02:18.940 --> 00:02:21.000
we've talked about in this video.

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:26.670
To access it again, click the small arrow
in the corner of the Page Setup group.

00:02:26.670 --> 00:02:31.700
Now you can fine-tune all your settings in
one place, including margins, orientation,

00:02:31.700 --> 00:02:32.750
paper size, and more.
