We had earlier covered about the steps required for changing the paper size in Word. And to this couple of readers had asked question on How to add A5 to the paper size list. So in case you don’t see A5 or any other paper size then use the custom paper size option available as Page Setup. Let us see how to add A5 paper size to the Page Setup in Word 2016, 2013 & 2010
Click File then Print menu and navigate to Settings section.
Click the drop down with value displayed as Letter. Then select the More Paper Sizes from the list.
In the Page Setup window, navigate to Page Size and set the value for the drop down to Custom Size. Then enter the Width and Height for A5 Paper Size as 5.8” and 8.3” respectively. Then click the OK button to confirm and save the changes.
Note :- If you are not sure about the Height and Width of Paper Sizes (4A0 to A10) then refer this website.

why a5 itself does not exist in the world and we are obliged to enter the size of it.furthermore it is possible to forget the real size number.
Annoyed to discover Word 2010 doesn’t offer A5 paper size, which as a card designer I use all the time. The proposed ‘solution’ doesn’t help at all!
All the world except USA and Canada (and patt of Mexico uses the A series paper sizes. Come on Microsoft, get international. Next time you update Office 2010 put in an A5 paper size. You send out enough updates anyway.
Its 2021 and still Microsoft can’t be ar**d to add A5 paper size
Not having A5 is disastrous; it is a popular page size in many functions. This is another USA company trying to instil its selfish values on the world.
Try this fix…
1. In Windows 11 – GO to Settings > Printers & Scanner > CLICK ON “Run the trouble shooter”.
2. CHECK the default printer is actually set as default. If not SET IT as the default printer.
(This is especially important if you use multiple printers and some may be wired USB cable and others on your network)
3. GO BACK to Word and restart and check if the A5 and all other normal printer options (B5, Envelope …., Japanese, A6 etc.) have returned to “ Layout > Size …”
I had this same problem and realised that in order to use someone else’s printer whilst on a work trip, I had to select their printer as “default”. When I came back home my printer was working fine but the options for paper size was restricted to just A4, Legal, Letter, Executive & Custom. Don’t waste time with “Custom” as others have very unhelpfully suggested. Just check your printer settings thoroughly!
It worked for me!
