I have exactly that problem when one of our suppliers uses US paper format
for the diagram files that he sends us.  I have to shrink the diagrams
(software wise) so that the 216 mm width will fit my 210 mm paper.

None really.  I've been doing this for a few years now.  You might get the
odd comment from someone who receives your printouts that they had to slice
off the top or bottom in order to make it fit into a file folder or that
they couldn't get it to stack properly.  Also stapling those pages with
others that are of a different format will also leave extra hanging out at
the bottom.

I'm just about out of the U.S. letter-size paper I bought a while ago, and
need to buy more.

 

Staples has a deal on Hammermill A4 paper, $57.99 for a case of 10 reams.
It's good multiuse paper suitable for use in inkjet and officejet printers
as well as for other uses.  I'd rather get that.

 

What kind of difficulty, if any, might result from me using A4 paper in a
"letter" world?  (For one thing, my son is in his last semester of community
college and may have to write a paper or two.)
