I frequently hit this problem, but my solution is to define a custom
paper size of 8.25 x 11 inches. This will print on both paper sizes
without problems and means you don't have the problems of making things
fit.

You could try creating two separate templates (in FM files that are separate
from the book and separate from each other). One template file is 8.5 x 11, and
the other is A4. Both can contain all other attributes (paragraph styles,
character styles, colour definitions, etc). Apply the first

I agree with Nadine's first recommendation, which is what we have done
here.
Preparing for this process emphasizes that less is [or fewer are]
more. Wield Ockham's Razor judiciously, of not ruthlessly.
For _full_ benefit, I highly recommend that you

I expressed only my own professional opinions and not those of my

customer.

What if you also had to switch from US to UK spelling when you switched from
Letter to A4? What would be the most straightforward way to handle that?
The only thing I can think of is conditional text. But you can include your
condition settings in the template.

I agree that Nadine’s suggestion of two templates is probably best if you have
time to work through each document every time you change to check that there
aren’t any unfortunate page breaks. Sensible use of “keep with next” instead
of hard “top of page” settings can help of course.
Yes,
I know printed copies from PDFs are almost quaint these days snip
Call me a Luddite, but I don't agree. This article is a bit old, but I think it
still holds true:

Hello Lise;
There are two (IMO) better solutions than two full books.
One is to use a universal page (11.5 x 7.5 in ) --short enough to fit
on US Letter; narrow enough for A4. The downside is that you will end up
with extra white space (LR on US, TB on A4). OTOH, you can print the

Doh! Peter is correct about the page dimensions. Sufficient coffee

A3 is 11.693 x 16.535.
Brits are used to putting up with American English in technical
documentation, but if you had to deliver two versions, it would
probably be most efficient to handle one as a translation.
