http://www.communication4all.co.uk/http/Board%20Games.htm *When printing from a UK site, using our 'standard' paper when they call for
A4 or A3- it's easy to do- after pressing print, you should be able to find
a box or tab (EVERYBODY'S computer setup is different) that says -something
like page scaling and then choose something like 'Fit to Printable Area'- be
sure that if you have the option to choose the paper choice by the pdf paper
size- DO NOT CHOOSE IT! I have to uncheck in mine. After you get the paper
like you like it, print like usual. I'd recommend writing down what's you're
best way to download stuff outside the US. FYI-
Their A4 paper is 8.3 X 11.7- our Regular 'Letter' paper is 8.5 X 11.
Their A5 paper is 5.8 x 8.3- we have 'Executive' Paper 7.25 X 10.5.
Their A6 paper is 4.13 X 5.83- we don't have one to compare- UNLESS you
print 2 on 1 sheet!
Their B5 paper is 6.93 X 9.84- our closest paper on that one is Executive
also.
Most of the sites seem to use A4&A5. KEEP YOUR JOB & YOUR KIDS SAFE!
ALWAYS be sure to test ANY links on the Web before showing/linking to them for your class!
Also, be sure to check ALL links on your website!
REMEMBER- the INTERNET is FICKLE, and subject to boot ANY site off- and PEOPLE are NUTS and liable to do ANYTHING to ANY website!
