Existing Pages: go to the page in the Project Manager window, right-click>Schematic Page Properties, Page Size tab.
For a new Design, page defaults, Options>Design Template, Page Size tab
Don't feel compelled to fit everything on one page, use the Off-Page Connectors to connect pages in flat designs, Hierarchical Ports to connect the hierarchy in Hierarchical designs.

Hi oldmouldy.

I'm using Orcad Capture 17.4 and still it seems there's the same problem across different versions of Capture. Whenever I try to change the page size, nothing happens. It does change in the settings, but the actual size of the schematics area stays the same. What should I do to fix the problem?

Make sure the software is updated with hotfix S018.

In 17.4 capture goto - Options - schematic page properties and you see the below window. Under custom, you can define the required page size in mm/ inches.
