How do I change the default page size?
The default page size for new documents can be changed by selectingTools > Options > Language settings > Languages. Under Language of reset Locale Setting to the page size that you want. For instance, if you want "Letter", you can select English (USA); if you want "A4" you can select English (Australia) or English (UK). Unfortunately this may drag in other settings that you may not want, such as the default currency.
You should also check your printer settings before printing a document by going to File>Printer Settings, selecting Properties and checking the Page Size because most printer drivers include document settings for printing pages to scale. Set your document settings to the same as those of the document you are going to print.
