[OS X TeX] A4

[Oliver Hardt]

perhaps this is kind of a dumb thing to say -- but why don't you just 
provide the papersize in your \documentclass line?  works fine for me.

e.g.:  \documentclass[a4paper,american,final]{article} ...
or for US letter size: \documentclass[letterpaper, ...]{article} ...
