| 23 | +## Description |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +In RadRichTextEditor, I need to set a custom page size, for example, 3"x3". The `ChangePaperTypeCommand` does not allow for custom sizes, and I wonder if there's an alternative way to achieve a custom page size in the document. |

| 31 | + |
| 32 | +## Solution |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +To set a custom page size in RadRichTextEditor, such as 3"x3", use the `ChangeSectionPageSize()` method. This method should be called after the document is loaded. Follow the steps below to implement custom page sizing: |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +1. Initialize a new size with the desired dimensions. Keep in mind that the size should be specified in DIPs (Document Independent Pixels). For a 3"x3" size, considering 96 DIPs equals 1 inch, calculate the size in DIPs as follows: |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +```csharp |
| 39 | +var size = new Telerik.WinControls.RichTextEditor.UI.Size(762, 762); // 3"x3" in DIPs |
| 40 | +``` |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +2. Apply the custom size to the document using the `ChangeSectionPageSize()` method: |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +```csharp |
| 45 | +this.radRichTextEditor1.RichTextBoxElement.ActiveDocumentEditor.ChangeSectionPageSize(size); |
| 46 | +``` |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +By applying these steps, you can set a custom page size for your documents in RadRichTextEditor. |
