If you’re planning to write a proposal, it’s best that you know which size will suit the type of proposal, its specific purpose, and the extent of the content.  \nProposal Sizes Standard  \nWhether it is a business proposal, a student research proposal, or any other type, one should take note of what the right document sizes are. Here are the standard ones that are currently in use:  \nLetter  \nThe first standard proposal document size is the letter size, which measures 8.5×11 inches, or 215.9×279.4 mm. This is one of the most frequently used paper sizes, especially in the US. This is commonly used when students write a research proposal during their class or when an evaluation plan is in a proposal.  \nLegal  \nAnother standard proposal document size is the legal size, which measures 8.5×14 inches or 21.59×35 .56 cm. Since proposals are considered to be formal documents, the legal document size can also be adhered to along with the letter size. Typically, this is more frequently used when a proposal is to be used in a legal setting.  \nProposal Sizes for Print  \nProposals being printed can follow the two standard sizes which are the letter (8 .5×11 inches) or legal (8 .5×14 inches) size, depending on their purpose. Prior to being printed, the documents should follow the correct format as well. For example, a research proposal should follow the appropriate margins ( 1 inch on all sides) , should adhere to the correct font size ( 12 pt. ) , and should be double-spaced.  \nProposal Sizes for Business  \nBusiness proposals outline the services that a company offers plus the reason why they are the best fit for a project, and they are considered to be legal documents once the negotiation process is over and they are signed. For this particular reason, the legal size is  \nbest used, which measures 8.5×14 inches. By being a legal document, business proposals prevent disputes and help prevent any lack of clarity between the parties involved. It is also important that the right size should be followed or else this may be an embarrassing reason to get your proposal rejected.  \nProposal Sizes for MS Word  \nProposals can be created in different word-processing applications, and one such example is MS Word. When you open the app and select the page size, you may find yourself getting overwhelmed by the plenty of page size options that are present. But since a proposal is  \nfrequently used in a formal setting, you only need to worry about 2 sizes, which, again, are the letter size (21.59×27.94 cm) and the legal size (21.59×35 .56 cm) . Just make sure that when you make one, be sure to follow the right margins, the right spacing, and the right font text and size to avoid any troubles.  \nProposal Sizes for Apple Pages  \nIn the Apple operating system, Apple Pages is also one type of word-processing app that can be used to write a proposal. Similar to MS Word, there are only 2 sizes that you need to worry about, and they are the letter size (8 .5×11 inches) and legal size (8 .5×14 inches) . To select your paper size in the Apple Pages app, go to the Documents tab, click the pop-up menu in the sidebar that shows the current paper size, and from there, you can select an option. If you want to ad here to the letter size, then choose the US Letter option, and if you want to ad here to the legal size, choose the US Legal option.  \nProposal Sizes for Google Docs  \nGoogle Docs is also another viable option when you want to create a proposal document. When you compare this app to the previous two, this can be handy if you want your draft tobe always automatically saved online. Similar to MS Word, when you initially set up the document, you may get overwhelmed by the number of different page options that are available. Luckily you only need to choose between two, which are the letter (215.9×279.4 mm) and the legal (215.9×355 .6 mm) .
