Select extra paper sizes

When you are selecting your print options, keep in mind that the size of the paper you print on might need to be larger than the actual size of your finished publication page. To distinguish between the size of your paper and the size of your publication, print professionals refer to the printing paper size as the sheet size, and to the size of the finished publication page as the page size. In general, you will use extra paper, or sheet, sizes when printing a bleed for a desktop publication.

1. On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Printer and Paper tab.
2. On the Printer and Paper tab, select the paper size you want in the Size box.

   For example, if your publication page size is 8.5-by-11 inches, but you want to print on a larger sheet, click Executive (9-by-11.5 inches).
