Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact dimensions of Executive paper?
Standard Executive paper measures 7.25 by 10.50 inches, which is approximately 184.1 x 266.7 millimeters.
Why are Executive and Monarch sizes missing from Word for Mac?
Word for Mac pulls its default paper sizes from the selected default printer's driver. If your printer does not natively list these exact sizes in its driver profile, they will not appear in Word's standard dropdown menus.
How do I print a Monarch envelope correctly after setting the custom size?
After setting the document dimensions to 4.00 x 7.50 inches, place the Monarch envelope in your printer's manual feed tray. Ensure you adjust the physical paper guides snugly against the edges of the envelope before executing the print command.
