Hi everyone, and a belated Happy New Year if I still haven't wished you one on KudoZ.

A customer has asked me to deliver a translation in "letter size paper", not A4. At the risk of sounding like a computer noob, how do you do this on Microsoft Word?

Thanks!

Let me try this... Jan 12

even though I work with the German version of Word. Anyway, go into Word's drop-down formatting menu and choose "document". Then there should be a button named "page set-up" (or something along those lines...) on the lower left. Click on it. That will open a panel with several options, one of them being the page format, i.e. A4, US letter, US legal, etc.

Belated Happy New Year to you, too!
