These free long bond paper templates give you 9 Word documents already set to 8.5 x 13 inches: college and wide ruled lined paper, graph paper, a dot grid and a blank page. I’m Patrick Elliott, a teacher and Inclusion Lead. Teachers in the Philippines asked me for long bond paper in Word, so I built these pages at the true 8.5 x 13 inch size with the same lines as my lined and graph paper.
In this guide, you’ll find what long bond paper is, which page suits your work, and how to print it at the true size on any printer.
What’s in the Long Bond Paper Templates
| Paper | Version | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Lined Paper | College Ruled | Notes and school work (7.1 mm lines) |
| Lined Paper | College Ruled with Margin | A red margin line for school work |
| Lined Paper | Wide Ruled | Younger writers (8.7 mm lines) |
| Lined Paper | Wide Ruled with Margin | Wide lines with a red margin line |
| Graph Paper | 1/4 inch | Maths, charts and plans |
| Graph Paper | 5 mm | Maths and science in metric |
| Graph Paper | 5 mm with 1 cm Lines | Graphs that need bold centimetre lines |
| Dot Grid | 5 mm | Bullet journals, sketches and diagrams |
| Blank Page | 1 inch Margins | Letters, reports and printing your own work |

👉 Every page is already 8.5 x 13 inches (215.9 x 330.2 mm), so you do not need to change the paper size in Word.
👉 The lines and grids are real Word lines in the page header, so they stay in place while you type and repeat on every page you add.
What Is Long Bond Paper?
Long bond paper is 8.5 x 13 inches, two inches longer than short bond (US Letter, 8.5 x 11). Schools and offices in the Philippines use it for tests, projects and forms, so a Word page left on A4 or Letter prints with the wrong margins on long bond.
| Paper | Inches | Millimetres |
|---|---|---|
| Long bond | 8.5 x 13 | 215.9 x 330.2 |
| Short bond (US Letter) | 8.5 x 11 | 215.9 x 279.4 |
| A4 | 8.27 x 11.69 | 210 x 297 |
| Legal | 8.5 x 14 | 215.9 x 355.6 |
👉 For other sizes, see the guide to paper sizes in Word.
