how to transfrom a legal word document format to letter size document

Soona · #1 04-18-2018, 08:16 AM

Hello,

I am trying to convert a few legal size Microsoft word templates documents to letter size, is there a way to do it without messing up the document?

Your help is much appreciated.

You're unlikely to be able to change the paper size from legal size to letter size without the content being reformatted. Within reason, some of that can be adjusted by changing the margins and font sizes but, even so, you're likely to have to do some reformatting to get the layout right.

Do you think I should copy and paste the document it would be easier?

Work with a copy!
Use Ctrl+A to select all text.
Under the Page Layout Tab, click on the Page Size button.
Pick Legal
