ugh....don't even ask why, but I need to find US Letter sized paper. Any ideas? I have a very silly and easy money job editing a book on heroin....gosh what do i know about that....but they want me to submit my work on US Letter size paper and they won't budge on the matter. Any ideas where I can get some here in Madrid. Or anyone know anyone coming over anytime soon that can bring me a ream????

ok, so why is it that you all (even veteran members mad) completely ignore the "de compras", shop till you drop!" forum and post anywhere BUT when you are looking to buy something cry

ok, i am off my rant and have moved this and schwendy's bed question to this SHOPPING forum!!!

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... u.s. letter eh?

why don't you get the measurements and go to a "papeleria" and ask, they may just have what you need.

the internet shows u.s. letter paper (a4) as 216 × 279 mm. spain (and international) a4 is 210 x 297mm.

i read...

quote:
International standard paper sizes are now used in all countries except the United States, Canada, and some other countries of the Americas.


source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size .

why can't we all just get along cry

ok, so i was no help at all but thanks for humoring me big grin

good luck and let us know how it turns out.

saludos,
jer...

actually you were a lot of help. i am suspecting that i will find nothing, which will give me an excuse to chuck this heroin habit and move on to more exciting problems.

i'll give the ole papeleria one shot.

Candy--
You could have a paper store cut down A3 paper for you to 8.5 x 11. Or you could buy some and go to Workcenter and do it yourself (I think they have paper cutters out that you can use). A3 is 11.69 x 16.54.
