Cheers

In every big warehouse like La Sirena you can get it.

But what we also do is just reverse in Word from A4 to Letter and your problem is also solved

Nothing in La Sirena. All you can find here is - standard US letter size.

you can find A4 paper size anywhere. Papeleria, farmacias, supermarkets, etc.
the problem is that nobody here know paper size by A4, A3, etc
you have to use dimensions size.
A4=8.5 x 11 (in Dominicana, ocho y medio por 11)
A3= 17 x 11
A2= 17 x 22
you can also find Legal sized
8.5 x 12 or 13

Default A4 ≠ 8.5 x 11

A4 paper is not the same as the North American 8.5" x 11" standard and I have never seen it here. A4 is a standard international size and is 8.27" X 11.69". See Paper size - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, for example.

No it's not the same size, at the office we have to cut it ourselves to get A4 size, haven't seen it here. Maybe buy letter size paper and take it to a copy place for them to cut it for you.

Yes , you are right, the letter size paper that we use here equivalent to A4 is 8.5 x 11, different than the US size.
If it is very important to you to get this exact size. you just have to go to an IMPRENTA and they will cut for you the amount that you need.

Thanks, I'll have a look tomorrow.

The problem I have is that I occasionally need to print off manuals that go into A4 sized folders. I usually get my paper sent from the UK, but if it's available here it would work out easier and cheaper.
