switch between 8.5x11 and A4 sized pages within the same book?

[Writer]

You could try creating two separate templates (in FM files that are separate from the book and separate from each other). One template file is 8.5 x 11, and the other is A4. Both can contain all other attributes (paragraph styles, character styles, colour definitions, etc). Apply the first template when you want to create a PDF for the US market. Once that's complete, apply the second template to the book to create the PDF for the European market.

Alternatively, you could use a processor that ignores your FM settings (that is, you would set up all your formatting in the processor), and then generate two different outputs.
