The ISO standard paper sizes are not commonly used in the United States and Canada. Instead paper formats like "Letter" (8.5 x 11 inches), "Legal" (8.5 x 14 inches), "Executive" (7 x 10 inches), and "Ledger/Tabloid" (11 x 17 inches) are widely used. The "Letter", "Legal", "Tabloid", and other formats (although not these names) are defined in the American National Standard ANSI X3.151.
