Here, we’ll show you how to shrink text to fit on one page in Microsoft Word. The options differ if you’re using Word on your desktop or the web. So we’ll include them both, so you’re covered either way.
Shrink to One Page in Word on Your Desktop
Whether you’re using Word on Windows or Mac, you can scoot that text from the second page up to the first for a nice one-page document. Word has a hidden command to add to your ribbon or Quick Access Toolbar called Shrink One Page.
Now to use the feature, click the button you just added. Below, we added it to our Quick Access Toolbar.
Word will then adjust the document to fit on one page.
Shrink Text in Word on the Web
The online version of Microsoft Word doesn’t currently have the Shrink One Page feature that the desktop version does. So, you’ll shrink the text in Word on the web using the Shrink Font Size feature. Note: You can also use the below option in the desktop version of Word if you prefer not to add the Shrink One Page button described above.
It would help if you had all of the neat text on one page. And for a good way to see this, head to the View tab and select Reading View.
To return to editing, click Edit Document > Edit in the ribbon in Reading View.
Make Your Text Fit on One Page in Word
