Paper setup is one of the most basic requirements for creating your own style. In this article, the basics of paper setup are explained; the more advanced setups are described in the [http://context.aanhet.net/svn/contextman/context-reference/en/co-pagedesign.pdf Page Design] chapter of the new ConTeXt manual.

== Pre-defined paper sizes == Both <tt>A4</tt> and <tt>letter</tt> are predefined paper sizes. ConTeXt predefines many other commonly used paper sizes. These include: * <tt>letter</tt>, <tt>ledger</tt>, <tt>tabloid</tt>, <tt>legal</tt>, <tt>folio</tt>, and <tt>executive</tt> sizes from the North American paper standard;* sizes <tt>A0</tt> – <tt>A10</tt>, <tt>B0</tt> – <tt>B10</tt>, and <tt>C0</tt> – <tt>C10</tt> from the A, B, and C series of the ISO-216 standard;* sizes <tt>RA0</tt> – <tt>RA4</tt> and <tt>SRA0</tt> – <tt>SRA4</tt> from the RA and SRA series of ISO-217 paper standard;* sizes <tt>C6/C5</tt>, <tt>DL</tt>, and <tt>E4</tt> from ISO-269 standard envelope sizes;* <tt>envelope 9</tt> – <tt>envelope 14</tt> sizes from the American postal standard;* sizes <tt>G5</tt> and <tt>E5</tt> from the Swedish SIS-014711 standard. These are used for Swedish theses;* size <tt>CD</tt> for CD covers;* size <tt>S3</tt> – <tt>S6</tt>, <tt>S8</tt>, <tt>SM</tt>, and <tt>SW</tt> for screen sizes. These sizes are useful for presentations. <tt>S3</tt> – <tt>S6</tt> and <tt>S8</tt> have an aspect ratio of 4:3. <tt>S3</tt> is 300pt wide, <tt>S4</tt> is 400pt wide, and so on. <tt>S6</tt> is almost as wide as a <tt>A4</tt> paper. <tt>SM</tt> and <tt>SW</tt> are for medium and wide screens; they have the same height as <tt>S6</tt>;* a few more paper sizes, which I will not mention here. See <tt>page-lay.mki(i|v)</tt> for details. = Predefined Paper Sizes ==
Beyond <tt>A4</tt> and <tt>letter</tt>, ConTeXt provides the following predefined predefines many other commonly used paper sizes(see [[Paper sizes|Paper sizes page]] for actuals dimensions in mm). These include:
Plus keywords oversized (plus 1.5 cm), doublesized, doubleoversized, undersized (minus 1.5 cm) . For definitions, see {{src|page-lay.mkii}} and {{src|page-lay.mkiv}}.
