You've got more courage than I have. I see that the Universities in the U.S. use A4 for convention papers, etc. that need to be exchanged with universities in the real - oops, ISO world. Ideally, those users need both. I thhought that you might be saying that if I choose US letter, I will get inches. It didn't happen -at least, not without exiting the program, which I didn't try.
