If your screen captures and other illustrations don't fit neatly into the
column (or page) width on the new page size, you *might* have to re-do some
or all of them or they might end up blurry if reduced to fit.
You might find that page breaks need a lot of tweaking to avoid big gaps at
the bottom of some pages when large illustrations move to the next page.
Lead-in sentences for lists may become separated from their lists if you
haven't always tagged the lead-in sentences as "keep with next". Other
stuff that should stay together may get separated. How many things go awry
depends on the original and final page designs and the way you've defined
your styles.

I've been asked to change my Word doc from the standard 8.5X11 size to a
7X9 size for the final printed, bound manual. Are there any issues I should
be aware of before I dive in?
