I'm in my next-to-last semester at community college, and I haven't had much difficulty. I printed my own graph paper, using a PostScript file. I got course folders at the bookstore, making sure that the A4 fit in them (not hard, as some of them are labeled as fitting A4, and there are rulers in the store).

Are you comparing Fore in A4 size to Fore in US letter, or to some type of paper that isn't available in A4? On Saturday 20 February 2010 11:09:29 James R.

Folding in fourths is for C6 envelopes. A3 folded in three (99 mm each) fits in an envelope, though it's tighter. > You will get to explain to a lot of people why your paper differs in > size from that used by others around you.
