[R] off topic A4 paper

2005-12-27 Thread Erin Hodgess 
Dear R People:

Please excuse the off topic question.

What are the dimensions of A-4 Paper, please?

Actually, the question should read, how do I set up a LaTex file
to fix A-4 paper, please?

Thanks much!

Set the documentclass in your LaTeX source file to:

  \documentclass[a4paper]{...}

as opposed to:

  \documentclass[letterpaper]{...}


In addition, if you are using latex+dvips, you may need to specify the
a4 papersize on the dvips command line using the '-t' argument:

  dvips -t a4 InputFile.dvi -o OutputFile.ps

if the default system setting is for letterpaper, which will likely be
the case for U.S. based installs.

a4 paper is 210 mm x 297 mm.

There is a TeX FAQ here which might be helpful:
