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.

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.

solution ' what suggestions do you have to help this person please?

'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.

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.

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?
