    Open Word.

    Select the Layout tab on the top menu, then click Size.

    What size page is indicated as setup in Word?

    Then on your printer, is that the same size as the paper you have inserted into your printer?

    If the two sizes are the same, choose to printer the document and ensure there is no scaling setting or fit to page setting enabled and the document should print the correct size.

    To ensure your document prints at the correct size (like a regular sheet of paper), you may need to adjust the print settings before printing. Here are some steps you can follow:

    1. Check Page Setup: Open your document and go to the page setup or layout settings. Ensure that the paper size is set to the standard size you want to print on (e.g., Letter or A4).
    2. Print Settings: When you click on "Print", look for an option that allows you to adjust the scaling or fit to page settings. You may find options like "Fit to Page" or "Scale to Fit". Select this option to ensure the document fills the entire page.
    3. Printer Properties: Before printing, access the printer properties dialog. Make sure the paper size selected in the printer settings matches the paper size you want to use.
    4. Margins: Check the margins in your document settings. If the margins are too large, they may prevent the document from filling the page.
    5. Preview: Use the print preview feature to see how the document will look when printed. This can help you identify any issues before printing.

    By following these steps, you should be able to print your document at the desired size.
