Default Shrink to fit

Your assumption is correct: the command basically reduces the point size for
all text so that the document will be one page smaller. As you have seen,
the approach has limitations. If you want to reduce the size of a single
page, you can do so manually. See also

Actually, doesn't that attempt to shave a page off the entire document and
not actually 'shrink to fit' the selected page? Because some may want
individual pages 'shrunk to fit'...

I've tried to 'Shrink One Page', but an error that read, "After several
attempts, Word was unable to shrink the document by one page." Surely,
there
is a way to condense all content to one page, regardless of how distorted
it
might be..

It's called Shrink One Page (found in the Preview group of the Print
Preview
ribbon tab).

I switched to Word 2007 a few months ago and am having trouble finding a
"shrink to fit" button. Is there one?
