Pat/Stan: >This A4 page has margins of 1 inch (25.4 mm) top and bottom and 1 1/4 in (31.7 >mm) side >margins. We are always good at finding/provideing ways: How NOT to 'think metric' and still claim we are in the process! Hard conversion to metric shall lead us to UTTER confusion, unless 'hard conversion' is inevitable/absolutely necessary. A minor waste of trimmed paper, put in recycle fabrication/re-production is likely to be gainful rather considering: What A Waste? Ther was an early discussion on A4 paper size: resizing to 25mm x 32mm or even 25mm x 30mm finished paper could be used, and promoted!Brij Bhushan Vij (MJD 2454738)/995+D-231W39-00 (G.

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [USMA:41757] Re: It's People PowerDate: Fri, 26 Sep 2008 10:52:39 -0400 Dear Pat: Thanks for writing. That article is indeed very old, and was moved from the ancient IBM 8088 thru various makes of computers and word-processors over the decades. I should re-send it in the pdf file, as some suggested. Or reset the margins as you wrote. You and this forum readers will be please to hear that The Harford Courant decided to publish the letter. So it may educate far broader audience than I had envisioned. This energy vs. power distinction is blurred to most Americans, engineers included. And either of the words has dozens of meanings not related to thermodynamics on top of it. Now hear this: I had made a use of your reference to Australian metric cookbook. My son and his wife moved to Sydney a week ago - just in time for me to forward your reference. However, it seems cooking is the least of their problems at this very beginning. But they were grateful anyway.

Dear Stan, Thanks for reposting your article on energy and exercise. I recall reading it and enjoying it some time ago and I have just enjoyed re-reading it now. As you wrote this some time ago, I noticed that it was before you chose to use your own page set-up and used the default Microsoft set-up in inches. Might I suggest that you read the article Page borders inches or millimetres and reconsider how you set your own default page. This two page article explores the cost of your simple decision about the size of the margins that you (and other people) choose for your computer paper printout.
