Gregg Ruled Paper: uses, sizes and printing tips
Gregg ruling — the layout of a stenographer’s notepad — uses lines about 1/3 inch apart and a vertical rule down the center of the page. Shorthand writers fill one column and continue in the next; it also works well for two-column lists, vocabulary and pros-and-cons notes.
How to print it
- Choose the paper size (US Letter, A4, Legal, A5 or Half Letter) and portrait or landscape — the page updates as you change settings.
- Choose the line spacing (college, wide, narrow, 8 mm or larger), the red margin line and the line color.
- Add a title or a name/date header if you want, or keep the page plain.
- Click Print / Save as PDF. In the print dialog choose “Actual size” (100%) and turn off “Headers and footers”.
Tips
- Print it on Half Letter to make a pocket-size steno pad.
- Light gray lines guide your writing without competing with it; switch to Black or Bold for students who need stronger contrast.
- Print a stack at once: in the print dialog set Pages per sheet to 1 and Copies to the number you need.
FAQ
What is Gregg shorthand paper?
Paper ruled for Gregg shorthand: widely spaced lines and a center line that splits the page into two narrow columns, so the writer’s hand moves less.
Can I use it for vocabulary lists?
Yes — put the word on the left and the meaning on the right of the center line.
Will the line spacing be exact when printed?
Yes, as long as the print scale is 100% (Actual size). The lines are drawn as vector graphics, so they stay sharp and exactly spaced on any printer.
Is it free, and do I need an account?
