I am new to Word(previously used Word Perfect).  WP had a feature called 
"make it fit" which allowed you to take let's say a 3 page document and put 
in the command reduce to 2 pages.  It would automatically change the type 
size and/or margins as needed so that you now had a 2 page document ready to 
print.  Does Word have an equivalent feature?  Thanks for any help.

Yes, but see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/FitCopy.htm

Good article, Sue. KUDOS.

One of the easiest way to do this which works sometimes is to select 
the........ Office Button > Page Preview > then there should be a button on 
the ribbon that says, "Shrink to One Page," thus it should try to shrink it 
down by changing text size etc.

Hope this helps
