I am trying to help one of our senior members here with a problem that he is
having. i.e.

Joe.
I am writing a letter on M.S. Word and want to print that on size A5.

The printing is no problem but the print size come up so small it is hardly
readable. How can I overcome that? The size is even smaller than this.

I did advise him to go into File/Page Setup/Paper and change the size to A5
but that didn't resolve his problem.

Can anyone assist us please?

Setting page size to A5 is only half the answer. Several places need to
have the A5 selection. Go to the Properties button of your Print menu.
Click on the "Effect" tab, and make sure that the document size is A5. Look
right under it...there is a radio button that needs to be checked...Scale To
Fit. Click on OK button. See if this helps.

'Scale to fit' is more likely to be the problem than the solution. Changing
the document page setup shouldn't change the font size, but scaling in the
print dialog certainly will.

If the document originally had a page size of greater than A4, file page
setup paper paper size A5 will change the paper size without changing
the font size.

Just in case the obvious has been missed ....

When you say "senior member" do you perhaps mean "old" - and possibly
someone who has failing eyesight and large fonts displayed on screen. If so,
what size is the font really? Is the A5 paper actually relevant or is the
font small on all paper sizes?

Enjoy,

But that was the reason for the request for help, the page was A4 size and
he wanted to print it out on A5 and when he increased the size of the paper
the font reduced from Arial 12 down to about 6. I did copy and paste the
original size that he sent me but it didn't display here.

So the original did not have a size greater than A4, it was A4 thus my
original posting.
