Word - Custom Page Size

I can create custom page sizes for various Word projects but am unable to save them.

 

I used to be able as previous projects can still be seen but now I am unable to save.

 

Am I missing something?

 

Regards

    Thanks Stefan. Yes, thats the way I am using it. Just wondered why you cannot save and select a custom size anymore when printing!

  • You can save a paper format in a template (*.dotx file). To reuse a particular format, create a new document based on your template.

      • Thanks for the follow-up. As far as I know, saving a template is the only way to save a paper format for reuse. 

        Custom sizes can be specified if your printer supports it, but (again) saving it in Word will require that you set up a Word template.
