Do you hate letter too?
So, just moments before the deadline, I’m finishing a report. I’m in a bit of hurry, so I didn’t double check everything before printing. And just to find out what? I’ve just printed the bloody report on the wrong type of paper. I had it set on letter, but printed on A4, making it look horrible. And guess what. These were my last 21 sheets of (A4!) paper. So off to the store to get some paper and reprint the damn thing.
Who’s to blame? Google docs. Me and my classmate wrote the report in their word processor, I exported it to .doc and printed. I mean come on, Google already knows everything about me, including my report’s deadline (Yes, they’ve cached it). And I’m thinking they should already know that I live in Slovenia and that we’re using A4 here. No letters here, thank you. So why are they exporting this to the weird American format?











Something familiar happened to me in InDesign, where default document is also letter. I guess next time I will set those options :).
