How do I make a document fit on one page if it is multiple pages?

If I have a letter in Word 2000 format that if one or a couple of lines falls
on a second page that I would like all on one page, how do I accomplish this.
In WordPerfect, there is a button called "Make it Fit." Does Word have some
sort of function that works the same as WordPerfect? Please advise. Thank
you.

There's a Shrink To Fit button on the toolbar in the Print Preview. It isn't
usually the best solution, though. See

Make the left / right and - or top / bottom margins smaller (File, Page
setup, Margin). Make the font smaller or choose a different font. Comic
Sans - for example - takes up more space than Tahoma etc.
