     Click the "Paper Size" tab which is to the right of the "Margins" tab in that same dialog box. This is especially helpful for changing the orientation in Word from Portrait to Landscape (horizontal printing). You can also adjust the paper size, for example to 8 1/2" x 14" if you have legal or to many other size choices. Just type in the numbers as needed. Apply changes to all or part of the document by using the drop down arrow towards the bottom and click "OK."
