1. Click on the Page Layout tab on the Ribbon at the top of your screen.
2. Click on the Size button in the Page Setup group.

You can now type your document in legal size. Here’s how to print it on legal-sized paper when you’re ready:

2. Click on Print.
3. Click on Print again in the choices that pop up.
4. In the lower right-hand corner of the box that pops up, next to “Scale to Paper Size,” choose “Letter.”
