Why are all (or most) worksheets in A4 size?
|
Hello all,
As an American in Costa Rica, I �m used to using letter-size paper. When I download A4 worksheets, I have to resize them. I have not seen any worksheets that are letter size.
- Is A4 size required for worksheets on ESLPrintables or just the norm?
- If I resize a downloaded worksheet to letter size and change it to American English, can I upload it as my own worksheet? I �ll of course mention the user who inspired it and the worksheet it is based on.

Hi, 1. I can tell you that as a British citizen (And former printer), A4 is the standard size paper that is used in the UK and most of the world. I believe that it is mostly just the USA and Canada that use the letter size papers as standard. 2. I do not think that re-uploading other users worksheets is allowed after reformatting, but i will let more knowledgeable users give you the correct answer on that one. |

It is absolutely NOT allowed to re-upload an other user �s work, even if you change the size, transform it it any way. The worksheets must be YOUR OWN work. Read the rules carefully before uploading anything. |

I think that you download in whatever format it has been uploaded in. I have downloaded several documents from here that are larger than A4, so maybe the �legal � size. .
Have you tried converting the word doc to PDF using the shrink to size option?
Also, when I print on my Epson I can choose document size and output size by going to print then into printer properties and then more options. Do you have this option in your printer properties?

When you print, simply set your printer to print it in a letter format. The printer will adjust the size automatically. |

I had downloaded wss before which were in Legal and tried to convert them to pdf and there was a drastic loss of quality (the fonts became so small that the ws was unredable/unuseable). I guess there would be no problem if such wss were editable but again it would take time, so I only use such wss if the content is something worth spending time on it.
PS: and NO, you CANNOT reupload other people�s wss in whatever format. Your worksheets have to be YOUR OWN creation. |
