About This Feature
Overview
Paper Size in WPS Office for Windows is a page setup feature that lets you choose a preset paper format or enter a custom width and height for your document. It helps you set up page size for printing, exporting, and document layout adjustments.
Core tasks include:
- Set a preset paper size: Choose common formats such as A4, A3, or #5 Envelope.
- Set a custom paper size: Enter a custom width and height for special layouts or print requirements.
This feature is useful when you need to prepare a document for printing, create content for a specific page format, or adjust layout before output. After you change the paper size, page flow and layout may also change.
