Short & Sweet
A single 8½″ x 11″ sheet gives you a neat and tidy two page newsletter.

Different Strokes
You may decide to go with a non-standard format. Try choosing a legal size sheet (8½″ x 14″) for your four-page newsletter. Even 8½″ x 11″ sized sheets can be folded to create a four page newsletter. Or get creative and experiment with different folding patterns using a tabloid sized paper.
