How to reduce pge size after finishing doc.w/text and pics.
How are you reducing the page size, and what version of Word are you using?
When you say it "loses the text", what is happening? Is the text being cut off at the margins? When you reduce the page size, are you not reducing the margins, accordingly, as well? If you are reducing the outer dimensions of the page, but are not adjusting the text so that it fits within the printable region of the printer, then one would expect for the text to be cut off. If the page/paper settings are set up correctly, however, Word should be warning you that that is going to happen, though. Hence, to help, more information on exactly what you're doing is needed, since Word should be handling the details if you're using one of the built-in methods. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Bonita Beaupre" wrote in message news When I apply a smaller page size to my document that has text and pictures, it reduces the picture size, but loses the text.

How to reduce pge size after finishing doc.w/text and pics.
I am using word 2007. I have pages in my document with Pictures with print
over them...some pages have wrapped text....some pages are just text. My document is on size 8 x 11 pages. I am trying to put all of these into the size 5.83 x 8.27 page found under "Page Layout" - "Size". I thought it would reduce everything automaticaly to the smaller page size when I clicked on the page size mentioned above. It reduced the pictures in the document but all of the text is not visible. The text pages are blank. Do I have to reduce font size on text and reduce pictures seperately? The document is about 80 pages long in the 8 x 11 size. -- Always need help.

How to reduce pge size after finishing doc.w/text and pics.
If you look at the horizontal ruler line, your text and pictures need to fit
within the white space defined by the left and right margins. Otherwise, they will be cut off. I don't see a stock 5.83x8.27 size -- I have to set that as a custom size. But, when I do that to an existing document, text is automatically reflowed to fit the margins. Pictures, however, did not automatically resize, and would be cut off if I tried to print them. It usually works best if you set the paper size before putting any text into a document. What I would do... is create a new document, set the size as desired, then copy the original document to the clipboard and paste it into the new (pre-sized) document. Does that take care of the sizing and margins, or is text still cut off? -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Bonita Beaupre" wrote in message ...

How to reduce pge size after finishing doc.w/text and pics.
Thank you so much! I am successfully pasting the text into a new small
document. However, it doesn't work for the pictures that have text on top of them, so I am re-doing those in the new document. My Word 2007 does show the option of 5.93 x 8.27 size, which is what I am using. Thanks again! Bonnie -- Always need help.
