1. Document settings before exporting
1.1 Format and dimensions
Set the document to the final format (e.g., A4, A5):
Word: ‘Page Setup’ or ‘Layout’ → ‘Size’
Want to use your own format?
→ Click at the bottom of ‘Size’ → ‘More page sizes’
→ Select the ‘Paper’ tab
→ Under ‘Paper size’ → ‘Custom size’
→ Enter the width and height.
Additional options:
- Margins: ‘Page Setup’ or ‘Layout’ → 'Margins'
Orientation: ‘Page Setup’ or ‘Layout’ → 'Orientation' → Select Portrait or Landscape
PowerPoint: 'Design' → 'Slide size' → 'Custom slide size' → Set the desired format (e.g., 16:9, 4:3, or custom dimensions)
