What is the difference between legal ruled and college ruled paper?

Answer 1

* Wide ruled (or Legal ruled) paper has 11/32" (8.7mm) spacing between horizontal lines, with a vertical margin drawn about 1-1/4" (31.75mm) from the left-hand edge of the page. It is commonly used by American children in grade school, as well as by those with larger handwriting. * Medium ruled (or College ruled) paper has 9/32" (7.1mm) spacing between horizontal lines, with a vertical margin drawn about 1-1/4" (31.75mm) from the left-hand edge of the page. Its use is very common in the United States. * Narrow ruled paper has 1/4" (6.35mm) spacing between ruling lines, and is used by those with smaller handwriting or to fit more lines per page. * Gregg ruled paper has ruling specialized for stenography. It has 11/32" (8.7mm) spacing between ruling lines, with a single margin drawn down the center of the page. * Manuscript ruled paper is used to teach young children how to write. A blank sheet consists of rows of three lines (the space between them depends on the age group being taught) with the middle line in each three-line set being dotted. The D'Nealian writing style is a well-known teaching method that makes use of this type of paper ruling. Another educational institution, A Beka Book, utilizes this ruling along with a house metaphor (upstairs, downstairs, and basement) to help young children learn where parts of each letter should be written. The usage is similar in concept to the use of the horizontal lines on French Seyés rule paper.
