But that is "destroying" the original design.  A well done design will look very
bad if abused in that way... Unless you read it using a magnifying glass.

But if you scale down from A4 to A5 the line length versus text size is not very
much of a pro. And I really think that if you are going to go down from A4 then
A6 is better. A5 seems to be used a lot only because it is easy to acheive. But
ok, that is really another matter... same as to stop people from using Times New
Roman and Arial for everything:-)

But what do they use for stapling it? Most office staplers can't reach into the
middle of an A4 sheet.
