standard paper sizes missing Office Word 2007 (home & student)

I have office Word 2007 (home and student) running on windows 7. I need to use A5 paper size but it is not in the list of available paper sizes. I thought there were supposed to be quite a few paper sizes, but at the moment I can only see Letter and A4 or custom (which has to be set for each new document). with only 2 or 3 paper sizes in my copy of Word, I think there is something wrong. I have reloaded office and done a 'repair', and ensured the printer driver is loaded also. I had this copy on a previous machine, and my engineer assures me that the licensing is all correct, although I was able to get A5 when this copy of Word was on my previous machine.

Any suggestions as to how I can get the proper variety of paper sizes installed?

Answer
The list of paper sizes is provided by the printer driver, not by Word, so that is where you need to investigate. Make sure that the correct printer is set as the Windows default and that the latest driver (from the manufacturer's website) is installed.
