Microsoft Word, How do I get only 1 page?

Question

I have a Word document the keeps going over 1 page but only three lines are on the 2nd page, is there any way to get all the info on 1 page without changing the font size.

Like in Excel you can format to 1 page, can I do that in Word?

And I don't wanna use Legal paper.

Thank U all, I found it.

When in print preview there was a little icon with 2 pages and an arrow pointing 2 one page. I clicked that and it fixed it. Its called shrink 2 fit.

Answer 1

All you can really do is try to cut the spacing down, if you have it double-spaced change it to single spaced, maybe changing some of the words or deleting meaningless sentences.

Answer 2

If it's only three lines, all you probably have to change is either the top or bottom margin by a tiny increment. With your document open, click on File, then Page Setup and change either the top or bottom margin. The default margins are 1.25 right and left and 1" top and bottom. Change margins to 1" left and right and see if that makes enough difference. If not, change the top and bottom margins to 0.9. You will have to put the cursor on the first line, first character, click on Edit, then Select all, or it won't make the complete page change. That way, you will make the change for the entire page, not just the first line.

Answer 3

You must make the top and bottom margins smaller and / or the left and right margins smaller.

You do this by:

On the menu bar, click on FILE
Then PAGE SETUP
Then MARGINS (change until the document is one page)

If this fails, then make the font size smaller.

Answer 4

u can change the margin on the top, bottom, left and right, not to mention that u can adjust the spacing in between ur sentences. all of the above will save some space. or go to print preview and do some page adjustment.

another suggestion: landscape instead of potrait?

Answer 5

All of the above ideas work, but try going to print preview. Then, hit "fit to 1 x 1 page". That should work...

Answer 6

You can adjust the upper and lower margins to incorporate all of the text onto one page. If this does not work then try adjusting the font size.

Answer 7

Try shrinking the margins

Answer 8

While in the document go to

File

Page Setup

and then increase the left and right margins

I hope this works

Answer 9

Highlight everything, and adjust the left and right margins so it takes one page.

Answer 10

you can change the size of the margins (make the margins smaller) drag the margins on the left side
