This isn't a teTeX related question, but ... Before changing anything in your LaTeX source file, try looking at the page setup option under the "file" button on your Acrobat Reader. For some reason which the system people haven't (yet) been able to track down, this (on my area of our Unix system) shows A4 paper but with width 8.50 in and height 11.00 in, which are US letter. Clicking on the A4 button and resetting it to A4 then produces the correct size.

This is exactly the behaviour I get if I don't set the page size for each job. > Emmanuel Plaut. Ken Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]
