Microsoft Office Page Size Problem

 

 

By default, Microsoft Office automatically resizes Letter and A4 pages to the actual printer’s selected page size if the selected page size is Letter or A4. For example, when the selected page size in a Black Ice Printer Driver is Letter, Microsoft Office will convert all A4 sized pages to Letter sized pages in the printing process. This feature can be disabled in Microsoft Excel and Word. In Office, this feature is called "Scale content for A4 or 8.5 x 11 paper sizes".

 

In the latest version of Microsoft Office, the "Scale content for A4 or 8.5 x 11 paper sizes" option can be disabled following way:

 

  1. Go to the "File" menu

  2. Click "Options"

  3. In the list on the left select "Advanced"

  4. Under the ‘Print’ section uncheck "Scale content for A4 or 8.5 x 11 paper sizes"
