How to Set F4 Paper Size in Word and Excel
F4 paper, commonly known as Foolscap Folio, is a popular paper size used in various administrative and office tasks. It's a bit longer than A4 paper, measuring approximately 210 mm x 330 mm (8.27 inches x 13 inches). However, the exact size may vary slightly based on the country or the paper manufacturer.
F4 paper is a preferred choice for documents that need extra space, like tables, graphs, or lengthy texts. But how do you set the F4 paper size in word processing and spreadsheet programs like Microsoft Word and Excel? Here’s a guide for you.
