Hi all,
Can anyone tell me what the dimensions are for legal size
paper? Is it 8.5x 11.75"? If so, how is that different than an
A4 size paper? Excuse the ignorance.
Thanks,
Riva
Riva,
There are as many paper sizes as there are people to cut the reel
up [well, maybe not...]
There are two main systems the metric [may it wither and die] and
the imperial or english or American with ancient and quaint
descriptions (I wrote a poem about that!).
The mertric is so logical it is totally unfitted for humans, and
the imperial is so illogical it is not suited to the age ;-).
IN the metric the A4 -8.25" x 11.75" (as John pointed out 210mm
by 297mm ) is pretty standard now for office and legal and so on
in Europe and now even, due to our namby-pamby politicians, in
Britain.
But 'Legal' is 8.5" x 14" and 'Tabloid' is 11" x 17". Do you
want to know about 'elephant' and 'eagle'? [Hey, I could do a
poem about a legal eagle and his double size sheet?]
