 Bond papers (coupon bonds) are commonly used in printing documents for personal and business use. They are associated with students, offices, schools, printers, computers and other purposes. Microsoft Word is one of the software in Windows (7, 8, 10, and 11 OS) that deals with bond paper size (short, long, A4, etc.).

The actual short bond paper size in Microsoft Word is 8.5" (inches) in width x 11" (inches) in height or 21.59 cm x 27.94 cm in centimeters.

Here are the Shor Bond Paper Sizes equivalents:

  • 8.5" x 11" is equivalent to 21.59 x 27.94 cm in centimeters
  • 8.5" x 11" is equivalent to 215.9 x 279.4 mm in millimeters
  • 8.5" x 11" is equivalent to 2550 pixels (width) by 3300 pixels (height) in 300 ppi resolution. 

Please note that to determine the short bond paper size in pixels you need to multiply Inches x Resolution (Pixel/Inch). For example, if you set 72 ppi resolution of your new image (in Photoshop and other software), the computation to get the exact size is 8.5 inches x 72 = 612 and 11 inches x 72 792. Therefore, the size of short bond paper in 72 PPI resolution is 612 x 792 pixels.
