Look its simple. In the UK we use A4 paper. In Europe we do as well. No one
uses Letter paper. SO why oh why when you set the language and region for
your PC does IT ALWAYS DEFAULT TO Letter!!!!

I pay hundreds of pounds for this software only to find your designers can't
get this simple design feature right.

I don;t want to have to go to page setup every time or search for the
templates. This should be common sense. WAKE UP!

No point ranting here - this is a user group, but if you wish to fix this
issue, set the regional settings of Windows to UK. The software is produced
in the USA so it seems reasonable they should have USA defaults. It doesn't
mean you can't change them. The computer doesn't know where you live until
you tell it. Problem is many PC assemblers don't bother to do that.
