Here's a question from a USA-based co-worker on temporary assignment
in Europe (my comments inserted in []):

I have a question for you.  It has to do with the size of international paper.  I
have all these existing frame documents I brought with me on tape.  They are the
wrong size to print on international paper, although everything fits, nothing
gets cut off, so its not too bad, and I don't think it would be correct to
reformat existing documents [the USA-based masters] to international size.
However, I would like to reformat the templates we have to international sizes,
so if we write memos, or create new documents, they'll be international size.  Is
there any way to reformat an existing template file to change the size of the
master pages?  The only way I can find to specify the size of the master page is
when you create a new document using the NEW command.  It pops up the dialog that
says Use Template, and you have to select Custom Document, because all our
templates are U.S. sizes.  And our version of FrameMaker is from the U.S., so all
the templates supplied with FrameMaker are U.S. sizes.  Any hints???
