Ordinary users who use the Microsoft Word program often use it for future printing of documents on A4 sheets. This format is used in the program by default. But these same users, perhaps, do not realize that other formats can be used in their favorite text editor.
This article will discuss how to make A5 format in Word. We will talk about two methods that are not very different from each other, but perfectly replace themselves. In any case, after reading the article, you will understand how to make the A5 format in Word 2010, 2013 and 2016 releases. By the way, the instruction will be applicable to previous versions of the program, however, some interface elements may differ slightly: have a different location on the toolbar or graphic display.
Template selection
As mentioned above, in the article we will figure out how to make the A5 format in Word in two ways. The first will involve the use of a preset that will automatically set the desired width and height dimensions . So, we proceed directly to the instructions:
Run the program. It is advisable to do this with a new document without opening the previously created one, since all the information entered may shift after changing the format.
Click on the "Page Layout" tab. Please note that the tab has such a name in the 2007, 2010 and 2013 program versions; in the 2016 version, the tab is referred to as "Layout".
Click the arrow located in the Advanced Options tool group in the lower right corner. Please note that in the 2013 and 2016 versions, the tool group is called Page Setup.
In the window that opens, click on the "Paper Size" tab.
Click on the "Paper Size" drop-down list.
Choose format A5.
Click OK.
After all the manipulations done, you will see that the sheet has completely decreased on a one-hundred-percent scale, which means that you did everything right and now you understand how to make the A5 format in Word.
Manual entry
If you couldn’t follow the previous instruction, because you simply couldn’t find the “A5” item in the drop-down list, then the second way to create an A5-format book in the Word will help you achieve your goal.
Initially, you need to go to the already familiar "Page Settings" window. For this:
Open the program.
Click the Layout tab (Word 2016) or Page Layout (Word 2007-2013).
Click on the arrow in the "Page Setup" ("Word" 2013-2016) or "Advanced Settings" ("Word" 2007-2010) tool group.
So, in the window that appears, go to the "Paper Size" tab. It is in this tab that you can manually set the format by entering the width and height of the sheet in the appropriate fields.
Further, to make the A5 sheet format , you need to enter the value 14.8 cm in the "Width" field , and 21 cm in the "Height" field . After that, boldly click the "OK" button.
Why is there no A5 on the list?
You already know how to make A5 format in Word, but in the end I would like to explain why this format sometimes does not exist in the drop-down list . In fact, everything is simple, it is installed independently only in cases where a printer of this format was once connected to a computer.
