You are always free to change the page size. My point is only that in
applications like KWord that are page-based, the user should do it
at application level to let the application do the needed post-
processing (that is the "Page Setup" menu entry). Changing page
setup at KDEPrint level, in that case, will probably lead to problems
because the application didn't expect it.

Basically, I'm sure we both agree. I'm just saying that the user should
change page size at the right location. For KWord, it should be in the
"Page Setup" menu entry, provided that KWord support "any" page size.
