Default letter and legal page in same document

Sounds like it. I suspect if the tray setting in all sections were "Auto
Select," you wouldn't see the problem.

Right on Suzanne. It is because A4 is in the (default) front tray, whilst
the back tray is empty (because it is for special paper/card, or other
non-default sizes, etc). If I load A5 into the back tray, I can then
successfully change between A4 and A5 and it sticks. I think the
printer/driver is being a bit too clever.

I don't know. Certainly works for me here. You might have to make sure
that the paper source (drawer, tray) is not set to some specific one that
contains only one size, as opposed to "Default tray (Auto Select)."

That doesn't work for me... I wonder if it is printer driver related? I
can certainly switch orientation, but it lets me change page size (A4 to
Letter), but then reverts when I close and reopen the document.

Of course you can! Just insert a section break, then change the paper
size in the new section.

You cannot mix page sizes in a single document.

Hello,
How do I create a word document that has both letter sized as well as
legal
sized pages in it?
Thanks.
