Most continuous form computer paper is 11 inches vertically between folds. I
just took a look at a printout I have from 1964 -- 11" high x 15" wide. 12"
paper is very much the exception. For continuous-form legal documents, a 14"
vertical dimension is common.
I quite forgot 8-1/2 by 11, which of course is the common North American size.
