Word changes page size

[jmt356]

I am working off a document template set at 6.625 x 10.25 in., but Word keeps changing it to 7.17 x 10.12, which corresponds to B5 (JIS) paper size. Do I have to create 6.625 x 10.25 in as a new size in the Printers dialogue in the Control Panel in order to stop Word from automatically changing it? If so, is it the same in Windows 7 as XP?

I don't know if the following will affect it but you could try clearing the check box "Scale content for A4 or 8.5 x 11" paper sizes" in Office button > Word Options > Advanced, Print section:

To create a custom paper size in the Printers and Devices control panel in Windows 7,select your printer, then click Print server properties in the toolbar. You can create a new "form" here.

Thanks Hans. Actually, maybe I was just imagining things, as I set the size to 6.625 x 10.25 in a week ago and it hasn't changed since.
