Resizing

I created a 58 page catalog in InDesign, using A4 sizing before realizing it needed to be 8.5x11. My thoughts are to expand the width of the document a certain amount so that when it gets shrunk down to fit the paper, it will fill out the 8.5x11 sheet. Then I can adjust things slightly to look right, but easiest way I think.

My question is what size dimension width would my document need to be, with a height of 11.69?

For example, if I made it .5 inch wider, so the document was 8.76" wide and 11.69 high, would that shrink to fit correctly on an 8.5x11?

Thanks!

Davi

Some designers use a 7.5 inch by 10 inch space to create their pages, that way it will fit with no issues on A4 or Letter sized paper
