Hello again, I have another (hopefully) easy to solve problem.<BR>
<BR>
Preparing a <I>curriculum vitae</I>, I have used the template shown there: <A HREF="http://www.cv-templates.info/2009/03/professional-cv-latex/">http://www.cv-templates.info/2009/03/professional-cv-latex/</A> (really nice template by the way, you should have a look!)<BR>
I've made few adjustements to the template, mainly to convert it to letter paper (originally in A4). Seems simple enough. The original preambule was :<BR>
<BR>
<FONT COLOR="#800000">\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}</FONT><BR>
<BR>
<TT><FONT COLOR="#800000">%A Few Useful Packages</FONT></TT><BR>
<TT><FONT COLOR="#800000">%\usepackage{marvosym}</FONT></TT><BR>
<TT><FONT COLOR="#800000">\usepackage{fontspec} %for loading fonts</FONT></TT><BR>
<TT><FONT COLOR="#800000">\usepackage{xunicode,xltxtra,url,parskip} %other packages for formatting</FONT></TT><BR>
<TT><FONT COLOR="#800000">\RequirePackage{color,graphicx}</FONT></TT><BR>
<TT><FONT COLOR="#800000">\usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{xcolor}</FONT></TT><BR>
<TT><FONT COLOR="#800000">\usepackage[big]{layaureo} %better formatting of the A4 page</FONT></TT><BR>
<TT><FONT COLOR="#800000">% an alternative to Layaureo can be ** \usepackage{fullpage} **</FONT></TT><BR>
<TT><FONT COLOR="#800000">\usepackage{supertabular} %for Grades</FONT></TT><BR>
<TT><FONT COLOR="#800000">\usepackage{titlesec} %custom \section</FONT></TT><BR>
<BR>
And I have tuned it into this :<BR>
<BR>
<FONT COLOR="#800000">\documentclass[10pt]{article}</FONT><BR>
<BR>
<TT><FONT COLOR="#800000">%A Few Useful Packages</FONT></TT><BR>
<TT><FONT COLOR="#800000">\usepackage[francais]{babel}</FONT></TT><BR>
<TT><FONT COLOR="#800000">\usepackage{xltxtra,parskip} %other packages for formatting</FONT></TT><BR>
<TT><FONT COLOR="#800000">\RequirePackage{color,graphicx}</FONT></TT><BR>
<TT><FONT COLOR="#800000">\usepackage{fullpage}</FONT></TT><BR>
<TT><FONT COLOR="#800000">\usepackage{xcolor}</FONT></TT><BR>
<TT><FONT COLOR="#800000">\usepackage{supertabular} %for Grades</FONT></TT><BR>
<TT><FONT COLOR="#800000">\usepackage{titlesec} %custom \section</FONT></TT><BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Now I thought that with those modifications (taking a4paper out of documentclass declaration, and also the A4 related formatting package layaureo), the produced document would be letter type. But it's not. It's still A4. Forcing letterpaper in \documentclass doesn't help. Any clue what package might be forcing A4 usage?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks again!<BR>
<BR>
Other (maybe useful to diagnose) parts of the preambule :<BR>
