About This Feature
Overview
Paper Size is a page setup feature in WPS Writer for Windows. It is used to adjust document page dimensions for layout and printing. You can choose common preset paper sizes or enter custom width and height values to match reports, contracts, forms, flyers, and other output needs.
Core tasks include:
- Set a preset paper size: Quickly switch to common sizes such as A4, A3, B5, and 16K.
- Set a custom paper size: Enter width and height values based on actual printing needs and choose the apply range.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On the Page tab, WPS lets you choose preset paper sizes directly and open an additional dialog to enter custom width and height values. | Word provides layout controls such as margins and orientation through the Layout area in its help content, with page layout guidance for document formatting. | Google Docs lets you change paper size, margins, orientation, and page color in File > Page setup, but these settings are available only when the document uses pages format. | Notion lets you choose Page format during PDF export, which is where paper size is handled for output. The desktop app does not print pages directly. | Adobe Acrobat provides page-size-related controls during printing, including scaling options and paper-size handling for PDF output. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS handles both preset and custom paper size changes directly in the editing interface. Distinct: It fits document layout work before printing begins. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft's cited help page focuses on broader document layout guidance rather than a dedicated paper size workflow on the same page. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs requires the document to be in pages format before paper size settings are available. | Compared with WPS: Notion mainly handles paper size during PDF export instead of regular document layout editing. | Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat focuses more on print-stage page sizing for PDFs than on page setup during word-processing edits. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to control page dimensions while editing a document, WPS Paper Size fits directly into the normal layout workflow. Other products also provide related page-size controls, but they are more tied to page setup conditions, PDF export, or print-stage adjustment.
