Hi Lynn! Thanks for answering my question.I didn't need to change the paper size this time. Where would I go if I need to change the paper size in the future? I was looking in the wrong place before.

Hi Debby! As long as you don't make that paper size setting your new default setting, the change should only apply to the document you're proofreading. HTH Blessings.

You could always check before you needed to print though. Can you tell that I don't print much?

I welcome anyone who answers my questions. Thanks for explaining the difference between hard and soft page breaks. I have my paper size in Word set to letter and, so far, I don't think I have come across any soft page breaks, because Window-Eyes announces "page break" when I come across one. If I changed the paper size, wouldn't that mess up how many pages I get when I print out any document? I don't think I'll have to change anything.
