    To set the starting canvas to 8 × 10 inches:

    1. Open Paint with a blank canvas.
    2. Press Ctrl + E to open Image Properties.
    3. Select Inches.
    4. Enter 8 for Width and 10 for Height.
    5. Select OK, close Paint without saving, and reopen it. Paint should remember the last canvas size.
