fitting text onto one page
I have to admit that I used WordPerfect till a couple of years ago. There
was a tool that was called "Make It Fit," where, if your text covered just a little more than one page, you could have the text automatically adjusted to fit on one page. It was a pretty handy thing. Is there a way to do this in Word 2008? Thanks |

Thank you for this information. However, I have a MacBook and am using
Office 2008. I read your article and then looked at page setup or print preview, and I still couldn't found the "shrink to fit" or the other option that was mentioned.

When you post in these NGs, be aware that they are mostly Windows-oriented.
For Mac-specific questions, see http://www.microsoft.com/mac/communi...pid=newsgroups I'm not sure what you mean by "the other option that was mentioned," since there are half a dozen other areas in which suggestions were made. -- Suzanne S.

In Print Preview's toolbar there is a Shrink to Fit button just to the right
of the button that toggles the Ruler on/off. Also, in the Print dialog you can open the Copies & Pages list, select "Paper Handling", then check the box for "Scale to fit".
