Word will only do what the printer driver will allow here, and is not happy
with custom paper sizes.
The simplest approach is to create a template based on the next larger size
of paper to your 'notesheet' and make up the difference with margins.

To add to what Graham has said, you can't add paper sizes through Word, but
some printer drivers do allow you to define custom sizes. The place to
explore this is then the printer Properties. You may find that the
Properties have more tabs or options when opened through Start | Control
Panel | Printers than via the Properties... button in Word's Print dialog.
