- In United States and or other similar countries Legal paper size is defined as 8.5 x 14 inches but in my country, Philippines, we are oriented by paper suppliers that Legal size has the dimension of 8.5 x 13 inches. According to my research the 8.5 x 13 inches is called Folio paper size or German Legal Fanfold; therefore Legal and Folio paper.

Changing your default settings in Word
There may be certain settings in Word that get on your nerves, like default settings that you find yourself changing over and over—the paragraph spacing, the font size—each time you start a new document.
Maybe you prefer a different font style instead of the default Calibri. Maybe you like all of your documents to have narrower margins so you can fit more information on the page. Maybe you even work for a company that has very specific document standards—regarding the color scheme or layout—and you're tired of changing these settings every time.
Luckily, you can customize many of the default settings in Word. You just have to know where to look.
Using Set as Default
You can't change the default settings for everything in Word, but there are certain tools and features that give you this option. Popular examples include:
- Font
- Paragraph spacing
- Line spacing
- Margins
- Page orientation
To find out if you can customize the default settings for a certain element, look for an arrow in the bottom-right corner of the group. This will open a dialog box where you can access all of the basic settings, plus some more advanced ones that you won't find on the Ribbon.
Next, look for a button near the bottom of the dialog box that says Set as Default. All you have to do is click this button, and Word will assign your current settings—like the font or font size you've chosen—as the new default for this particular element.
Understanding arguments 9th edition answers. Finally, Word will ask whether you want to set this as the default for this document only, or for all documents based on the Normal template (in other words, all documents in the future). Choose the second option, and Word will use these settings from now on.
If you don't have a lot of experience with Word, you may want to stick with the original default settings—any changes you make will be permanent, unless you change them back manually. But for more experienced users, this can be a great way to set up Word exactly the way you want.
If you are experiencing a problem getting your default changes to save, it might be an issue with your computer or your copy of Word. For help, we recommend visiting Microsoft's support site.

Cant Set Default Layout To 8.5 X 11 In Word For Macbook Pro
Make a User Defined 8.5 x 13 inches Paper Size as Folio or German Legal Fanfold
Posted on
Works perfectly in Windows 7, Microsoft Office 2007, and Canon IP 2770 printer
A couple of years ago, I found a little problem about printing a document to a Legal size of paper because, for instance, in Microsoft Office (any versions) I can choose the Legal paper size if I desire a long bond paper but using this paper size will not fit our local version of long size of paper. In United States and or other similar countries Legal paper size is defined as 8.5 x 14 inches but in my country, Philippines, we are oriented by paper suppliers that Legal size has the dimension of 8.5 x 13 inches. According to my research the 8.5 x 13 inches is called Folio paper size or German Legal Fanfold; therefore Legal and Folio paper size are two different sizes. I can see the German Legal Fanfold in my print server properties that has the same dimension of 8.5 x 13 inches but I have no idea why it is not visible to Microsoft Office.
Fortunately there is printer like Epson which lets you define your own paper size and save it as template; however, Canon printers, perhaps not all Canon printers, are not user-friendly when you need a custom paper size because you need to always change the printer's option to have a custom size. I spent hours to look for possible option to make a paper size template but Canon printer's option has nothing to offer me.

I spent hours to look for possible option to make a paper size template but Canon printer's option has nothing to offer me.
I often experience my co-workers in our office that keep on asking my help when they attempt to use this Legal paper size in Microsoft Office. Explaining them this subject over and over is a tedious work; so I need to find a solution. Again, after many tours on my printer's settings I finally discovered the right solution and hopefully this tip will also help others that have a problem with 8.5 x 13 inches paper and the MS Office or the US Legal size.
Our main objective here is to make a user defined Folio paper size template. After a few steps you will be able to see this template in your Microsoft Office programs and if my guess is right other programs that require printer's properties will also get the same result. To be more specific please see my subtitle regarding my specs. In addition my printer is a shared printer in our office network.
Step 1: Locate the Print Server Properties. Go to Start Menu and at the right side find Devices and Printers. When you get to Devices and Printers, click your default printer installed in your system. After selecting a printer driver, the additional three or more options will show up at the top of Devices and Printers window and look below the address bar. In short, you will be able to see the Print Server Properties when your printer driver is selected. Click the Print Server Properties to show its settings.

Step 2: Create your paper size template. At the Print Server Properties, go to Form tab, check the Create new form field which will enable some of the fields needed for new template specifications. Because we're making here a paper size as Folio or German Legal Fanfold, change the width and height field values into Width=8.50in and Height=13.00in. In the Form name field, you can create a name for your paper size, and because I live in the Philippines I want to use the brand name of our bond paper Hardcopy which I prefer to name it as Hardcopy Legal. Just click the Apply and OK buttons.
Step 3: Check your new paper size. Finally open your Microsoft Office Word; go to Page Layout tab; click the Size icon to drop down the list of different paper sizes and find your newly defined paper size at the very end of list. If you are able to see your paper size then you have successfully created it. As you will discover this new paper size is also available to your default printer's preferences.

Note: For HP and Epson this tip might not work 100% because each printer has different configuration. Perhaps, I will update this post in the near future. Anyway hope you find this helpful.
