Word's settings clearly state I want to see my document "printed" on letter-sized paper. Adobe shows me a document on A4 paper, not only with no apparent way to change the paper size without "reprinting" the document, but there also does not seem to be any obvious way to configure pages to appear in letter size.

I'll be dipped if it didn't work!
Time to add another page to that book of "little tricks."

When I print from Word to PDF the page settings are lost.That sounded promising, so I clicked on the link. Amazingly, most of the page was completely useless, but I did catch the following:
Change the default by going to start>printers right-click the pdf printer and select printing prefs.So I brought up Printers from the Start menu, right-clicked on Adobe PDF, selected Properties and engaged in a tab-by-tab foray to change any A4 setting to Letter.
