Statement Sizes Standard
Whether it is an income statement, a financial statement, or a school statement, the right document size should be followed. For the standard ones, here are the sizes that are being used:
US Letter
The first standard statement size used is a US Letter size, which measures 8.5×11 inches. This is commonly used in a research paper statement and should fit a standard letter-sized envelope.
A4 Size
The following standard statement size currently in use is the A4 size, which measures 8 and ¼ by 11 and ¾ of an inch. Comparative to the US letter size, the A4 size is more commonly used for statements with a business purpose, such as an income statement (also known as a profit & loss statement) and a financial statement which can provide an analysis of the company’s business activities along with their assets and cash flow.
Statement Sizes for Print
Statement documents meant to be printed for their respective use can follow the two standard sizes: the US Letter (8.5×11 inches) and the A4 (8.27×11.69 inches). Prior to printing, make sure that the right text font, document size, orientation, page quantity, and margin for your use case have been selected in the print options, and also, make sure that the right paper has been inserted into the printer.
Statement Size for Business
Business statements such as income statements and financial statements (that contain a balance sheet), which provide an observation about the enterprise or the company’s business performance regarding their sale of goods and their cash flow, should make use of the A4 size which is measured at 8.27×11.69 inches. A4 paper sizes fit most documents containing table cells from excel (and a little bit of introductory text) in a horizontal orientation, and they also fit financial statements done in a vertical orientation.
Statement Sizes for MS Word
A statement can also be created in various types of word-processing applications, with MS Word being one of them, and the sizes that can be used are the standard ones, which are the US Letter (8.5×11 inches) and the A4 size (8.27×11.69 inches). To select the page size in MS word, first, go to the page layout tab, then click the size command, which brings a drop-down menu, and from there, you can select between these two sizes.
Statement Sizes for Apple Pages
Apple Pages is also an app where one can create a well-thought-out statement document (such as an invitation statement) or report. Similar to MS Word, there can be plenty of document sizes that are available in its options. Still, you only need to make use of the standard ones, which are the US Letter (21.59×27.94 cm) and the A4 size, which is 21.0×29.7 cm; to select the desired size, go to the Documents tab, click the pop-up menu in the sidebar that shows the current paper size, and from there, you can select your option.
Statement Sizes for Google Docs
Another word-processing tool that can be used to create a compelling statement document is Google Docs, which can be handy since it automatically saves whatever you’ve typed in. Similarly, since these documents are only used in a business or formal setting, there are only two standard sizes that should be observed. They are the US letter size, which measures 216×279 mm, and the A4 size, which measures 210×297 mm; to select the right size, go to the File tab, select page setup from the menu, and from there, you can find the paper size dialog box.
