How to use it
Seyès is the French school ruling, also standard in Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria: 8 mm squares with three 2 mm interlines between the main lines, plus a red margin.
- Choose 10 or 12 mm for an enlarged ruling that helps young children and pupils with writing difficulties.
- Put the margin on the left, or on the right for Arabic.
- For double-sided printing, mirror the margin on even pages.
Print quality: the lines are true vector lines in the PDF, so they stay sharp on any printer at any zoom, and the file is tiny. Print at 100% (“Actual size”) so measurements stay exact to the millimetre. The file is created on your device.
Worked example
Main lines every 8 mm, three light interlines, and a red margin 30 mm from the left edge.
Frequently asked questions
When should I pick this over full Seyès?
When pupils do not need the vertical squares — the page is calmer and easier for writing.
Can the margin be on the right?
Yes, for Arabic or any right-to-left writing.
Can I use A5 or US Letter?
Yes — A4, A5, A3, Letter and Legal, portrait or landscape, with as many pages as you need.
