Nope, A6 to A0 but if you can create your own AX where X goes to
infinity..:-) A0 is the biggest one (equals 16 A4s in area). Since A1 is
half of the A0 and A2 is half of the A1 and so on, (short side of A0 is
long side of A1 and half of the long side of A0 is short side of A1 and
so on) it's possible, for example, to create A7 by just halving A6 to
two. But regularly available papers are between A5 to A0, here at least,
and A5 to A3 is the most common.
There is also a B size which goes the same as A size papers, but with
different initial dimensions, and not as popular as A size papers.

PS. Who still uses non-metric systems? There were only three non-SI
countries while I was at the university (US, Burundi, Brunei, IIRC).

| (...) Why, us silly americans (as in people from the USA) still use a non-metric system of measurements! Just add it to the list of reasons why the rest of the world doesn't like us.... :) Troy (24 years ago, 12-Mar-00, to lugnet.storage)
