How to Fit Your Page to Print Perfectly in Microsoft Word

Are you tired of dealing with printables that don't fit perfectly on your planner pages? In this tutorial, we'll show you how to resize your printable documents in Microsoft Word so they fit exactly on the pages of your planner. We'll be using a quotes tracker printable and the Dotted Journal as examples.

The first step is to determine how many big squares your printable needs to measure. Look at the grid paper below and count the number of big squares from top to bottom (9) and from edge to crease (6). The pink lines indicate the edges and crease of your planner.

Once you have counted the big squares, print out a grid paper page in Microsoft Word. Make sure to set the scale to 'auto' and unselect the 'washout' option. Then, go to the design tab and select the watermark option. Choose the grid paper that you saved earlier and save it for future use.

Now that you have your grid paper printed out, open Microsoft Word again and go to the layout menu. Select the margins option and choose 'narrow'. This will give you more space on each page to work with.

With your printable document open in Microsoft Word, click on the 'layout' tab and select 'fit to' from the drop-down menu. Choose the 'page' option and set the width and height to match the dimensions of your planner pages (6 X 9). You can also adjust the margins to make sure everything fits perfectly.

Once you've made these adjustments, click on the 'print' button to print out your printable document. Make sure to select the correct printer settings and paper size to ensure that your printout is accurate.

That's it! With these simple steps, you should be able to fit any printable document to your planner pages in Microsoft Word.
