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.

Life is the only real counselor; wisdom unfiltered
through personal experience does not become a
part of the moral tissue.

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
