Agenda Sizes

The right agenda size should be taken into consideration when one decides to create and make use of this particular document. This is because the size dictates what you can and cannot fit in the layout of the document, including its overall structure.

Agenda Sizes Standard

Whether it’s a monthly agenda, a basic meeting agenda, a simple DIY planner page, or a pocket-size binder, there are measurements that should be followed when creating an agenda document. As for the standard ones, here are the sizes that need to be adhered to.

Letter Size

The first standard size that should be followed when making an agenda document is the letter size, which is 8.5×11 inches in measurement. This size is commonly used in US and Canada and is more frequently used than the legal size, and this paper size is also most commonly used for different meeting documents, including meeting agendas and meeting minutes.

A4

The second standard size that can be used when making this document is the A4 size. It measures 8.3 inches in width and 11.7 inches in height. This is the standard international printer paper size and can be used on plenty of documents such as a daily agenda and a company agenda.

Agenda Sizes for Print

In the case of printing an agenda document, the sizes that you need to worry about are still the standard ones, which are the Letter Size which measures 215.9×279.4 mm, and the A4 size which measures 210×297 mm, which are the most common ones used for printable documents such as this one. For some special purposes, however, smaller sizes can be used, such as an A5 size which measures 148×210 mm and can usually fit mini personal planners or an A5 binder. As for the weight of the paper that is used for printing, one can use 80 GSM paper.

Agenda Sizes for MS Word

When making use of MS Word, one can get easily overwhelmed with the different paper sizes that are available in its drop-down menu when creating a basic agenda document. However, the paper sizes that are needed when making this document are only two, which are the Letter Size (21.59×27.94 cm) and the A4 size (21.0×29.7 cm). To select the size in this program, go to the “Page Setup” group in the “Layout” tab, click on size, and a drop-down menu should appear from which you can select between the two sizes, in which the letter size will be the default one.

Agenda Sizes for Apple Pages

Similar to MS Word, one can easily get lost and confused with the plenty of paper size options in Apple Pages when tasked to create an agenda document such as a business agenda, a company agenda, or an agenda used for routine office businesses. But the only ones that should be kept in mind are the two standard ones, namely the Letter size (8.5×11 inches) and the A4 size (8.3×11.7 inches). These are the most common paper sizes that are used for training agendas, office documents, and so on.

Agenda Sizes for Google Docs

Google Docs can be a handy online option when creating documents such as agendas since it automatically saves your work as you do it and it can be accessed anywhere with any device. As for creating agendas, make sure that the right size has been selected, and they are the Letter (215.9×279.4 mm) and A4 (210×297 mm). To select between the two sizes, simply go to the “File” tab, click on “Page Setup”, change the “Apply” setting to “whole document”, and from there, simply select between the paper size options in the drop-down menu, which can get confusing since there are a lot of them (but keep in mind, you only need to worry about the two standard ones mentioned).
