Blank page is 11 1/2 Inches Wide
I have Word 2019. When I create a blank document, it is 11 1/2 inches wide instead of 8 1/2. I selected the size as 8 1/2 but it always opens as 11 1/2. How to I get it to open as 8 1/2?

New blank documents always come from a template. If you are not specifically choosing a template as you create a new document then this new document is coming from Normal.dotm which is sitting in your User Template folder.
You can edit that template directly to change the page setup. Then new documents created from that template will start with the altered page setup.

I did that and the blank page is still 11 1/12 inches wide. It doesn't change to 8 1/2 inches wide.

You may be able to see what template is attached to your document, if it is not Normal.dotm -- though Normal is the default template when opening Word, as stated above.
If the Developer tab is not displayed in the Word Ribbon, go to File/Customize Ribbon and check it in the right-hand pane. Press OK to save it. In your document, open the Developer tab and select Document template. does it say Normal or something else? |

It just says Normal. So what do I do now?

I did that and new documents still open at 11 1/2 inches wide.

I solved the problem. It was simply a matter of changing the print layout icon on the bottom right. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.
