Need help in making a document fit in one page.
Good Morning,
I am having trouble here in trying to make a document fit into one page. I write a letter and when I print it out it looks awful. It is mostly on the top of the page and does not look right at all. Can someone help. ? I thought there was a setting where you can make your document fit into one page ....or two if it's long enough but that it would look clean Thanks Pat |

Need help in making a document fit in one page.
Hi again,
This did not help sorry Suzanne I did find the shrink to fit finally but this is not helping. You see my letter is very short and I wanted it on a full page. I know that Word prefect would do that in a flash. I had heard that we could also do it in Word but this is not working Any other suggestions ??? Thanks again Pat "Suzanne S.

In both cases, you may end up with something that looks ridiculous. |

As Mike says, if the problem is too little text, then increase the margins,
increase the font size, and increase the spacing between (some of) the paragraphs. I usually drop the date lower in this case and add more space between the date and inside address. Most of my letter templates use 13-point type, which I reduce only as necessary to fit a longer letter on one page. -- Suzanne S.
