I accidentally hit some keys that resulted in the page shrinking. Which keys do I need to hit to return the page to normal size?

1

At the bottom right of your Word window, are you able to use the slider to increase and decrease the Zoom on the document in Word, or if you press Ctrl + Zero on your keyboard, does that zoom the document back to 100%?

2

If not, select the View menu at the top, ion the Views section, ensure that is set to Print Layout, and in the 'Page Movement' section, ensure that is set to Vertical.

3

If that does not resolve the problem, ensure the View menu at the top is selected and please provide a screenshot of your Word window.
