or perhaps \"ream of small-format paper\"

the word \"ramette\" is neither in Webster\'s Unabridged, nor in the OED, so it does not appear to be an accepted English word

thx, le Petit Robert = "Rame de papier de petit format"
neutral Ramesh Madhavan : Very interesting. I tried the french-english dictionary and it says something else! Check this: http://lookwayup.com/lwu.exe/lwu/toEng?s=d&sLang=Fra&w=rame

it seems the english translation is the same for both, no distinction

\"A3 and/or A4 ream\"
