import com.independentsoft.office.word.WordDocument;
import com.independentsoft.office.word.sections.PageMargins;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            WordDocument doc = new WordDocument();

            PageMargins margins = new PageMargins();
            margins.setBottom(1440); // 1 inch
            margins.setLeft(1440); // 1 inch
            margins.setRight(1440); // 1 inch
            margins.setTop(1440); // 1 inch
            margins.setFooter(720); // 1/2 inch
            margins.setHeader(720); // 1/2 inch

            Section section = new Section();
            section.setPageSize(new PageSize(12240, 15840)); //8.5 x 11 in
            section.setPageMargins(margins);

            doc.getBody().setSection(section);

            Run run = new Run();
            run.addText("Page size is 8.5 x 11 in (Letter).");

            Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph();
            paragraph.add(run);

            doc.getBody().add(paragraph);

            doc.save("c:\\test\\output.docx", true);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
