It's nothing fancy, normally you get a choice of formats, one being a week 
to a page showing equal spaces for Monday through Sunday with Month name  
and year as a page header and week no and number of weeks left in the year
as a footer.

I'm not sure how you identify the paper size. Lotus Organizer has the 
option  of using 'Filofax(R)' paper. I just like to be able to print off 
next years diary without using Lotus Organizer if possible. If GROFF can 
do it, then I can personalise the format to suit myself - I can't do that 
via Organizer.
