You might want to post this in an Excel NG; this one is for Word.

Shrinking m Pages to n Pages
Norman,
Go to Print Preview, on the toolbar there is a button which will let you shrink (fit to). Be aware that Word will decrease the point size of your document text to accomodate. So it is not a good idea when you have too much text on that last page. -- Luc Sanders (MVP - PowerPoint) "Norman Zhang" schreef in bericht ...

You don't automatically. You can adjust font size and spacing,
interparagraph spacing and margins. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!

I seem to recall Word's "Shrink to Fit" feature used to support shrinking m pages to n, for m = 2 and n = 1, not just m = 2 and n = 1... Or is that from WordPerfect? |

I don't think it's ever claimed to do anything different in Word, but I've
not really experimented with it much since it's so arbitrary and irreversible (I prefer to remain in complete control of my formatting). -- Suzanne S.
