Localization and switch to A4 paper

[Melanie Raney]

Rebecca, Wolfgang--Thanks
You make a good point--one I can get behind, as it would be me doing the
extra work ;-)
Like you said, I think the others were saying the same thing... You just
said it in a way that hit home.

Our writers are all American, but the majority of people in our company
(and more than half of our customers) are of international origin. We
were hired to make everything look like it comes from the U.S. But, then
sometimes we get flack for "Americanizing" everything. We thought the
page size thing might be an issue that would give us grief.

I would be fine with the scenario you describe--hope I can sell it to
the rest of the company. Thanks!
