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! Sincerely, Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences University of Houston - Downtown mailto: hodgess at gator.uhd.edu
