About This Feature
Overview
Paper Size is a page layout feature in WPS Office for Mac that helps you set document page dimensions for printing, export, and shared editing scenarios.
Core tasks include:
- Set a preset paper size: Choose common sizes such as A4, A3, and No. 5 Envelope.
- Set a custom paper size: Enter a custom width and height for special layouts.
This feature is useful for print preparation, envelope or special-format documents, and keeping page specifications consistent in collaborative work. After you change the paper size, the document layout may also change, which helps you review the final output earlier in the editing process.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you choose preset paper sizes in a document and enter custom width and height values directly. | Word for Mac lets users choose paper size in Page Setup and create custom sizes through Manage Custom Sizes. | Google Docs supports page setup and paper size changes, but the official desktop help page does not describe arbitrary custom paper size entry in the same way. | Notion mainly handles paper size through PDF export with a Page format option, rather than direct page setup in the desktop app. | Acrobat focuses on scaling PDF pages to fit selected paper during printing, rather than editing document page size like a word processor. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: preset and custom paper size options are available directly in the document editing flow; Distinct: useful when you want to confirm print layout before output. | Compared with WPS: custom size setup in Word for Mac depends more on Page Setup and printer-related configuration. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs provides simpler page setup controls and is less focused on direct custom paper dimension editing in the documented desktop flow. | Compared with WPS: Notion is more centered on content organization and PDF export, with paper size control mainly happening during export. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is more suitable for print-output adjustment than direct page layout editing in a writing workflow. |
