Default How do I size a Word Document to 5 x 8 inches?

I'm trying to size a document in Word to fit book or pamphlet that is 5 x 8.
But I'm having a terrible time. Is there a way to size a document in Word to
this size? I have Word 2003.

From the File Menu, select Page Setup and then go to the Paper tab and via
the Paper size pulldown, select Custom and then insert the size of your
sheet.

Note however, that some printers have difficulty with "Custom Sized" paper
and it may be necessary to use a standard size sheet in Word (8.5 x 11) and
adjust the margins so that the print area coincides with the area on which
you want the text to be printed on the paper onto which you are printing
that text.

Hope this helps.
