How do I format Word 2000 for an A5 page?

I have prepared a document in Word 2000 for publication, but now been told it
needs to be presented to the printers as an A5 document. Unfortunately I
can't work out how to set up an A5 page in Word. Is it possible? If so, does
any kind soul know how to do it?

Thanks.

How you handle this will depend on whether your printer can actually print
A5 paper and whether you actually have A5 paper to print. If both those
conditions are true, then set the paper size (Paper Size tab of Page Setup)
to A5 and format your document accordingly. If either of those conditions is
not true, then you will need to print A5 on A4. Do this by increasing your
margins on all sides. It may be helpful to draw an A5-sized rectangle in the
middle of the page and then adjust margins until your text area is properly
positioned inside the frame. You could, of course, print in the top left
corner of the page, but I'm guessing your printer would prefer to have the
text area centered.
