I'm using Pages for a document to create a cookbook. But my printer person needs it to be resized to 8.5 x 5.5. It's currently at 5.83 x 8.26, paper size is set to A5. I don't know how to resize it exactly to 8.5 x 5.5. HELP!
MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2012)

Carmen - firstly are you normally using inches or the metric system?
Secondly which Pages are you using?
Printer?
I don't know why you are using A5 when you seem to want a half US Letter size.
I presume you mean inches, although you haven't said.
Menu > File > Pages Setup… > Paper Size > Manage Custom Size > click on + > click on Untitled > Rename it Half Letter > Paper Size: > Width 5.5 in > Height: 8.5 in > Make Everything else 0 > OK

Peter thank you so much, that helped. I did not know I could make a custom size. I'm failry new to using Pages. I'm use to using Microsoft Word and Publisher.
Thanks
Carmen
The Page Setup is universal in OSX.
As is the Dictionary/Thesaurus/Wikipedia referencing, Color Palettes, Fonts and Auto-text substitution. Amongst many other things.
You will find the custom page size available in all applications.

Thank you. If there's anything else I need I certainly will ask you 🙂
