geek_frappa Posted September 10, 2004 at 02:38 AM Author Report Posted September 10, 2004 at 02:38 AM Here is some practice paper .... http://chinese.primezero.com/notebook/pz_practice_sheets.pdf Quote
ralph1414 Posted September 11, 2004 at 04:51 PM Report Posted September 11, 2004 at 04:51 PM I draw my grid on sheet(s) of Viva paper towel with a magic marker and then lay my practice paper on top. I buy my practice paper from Acornplanet.com in full size sheets and it is thin enough to see the grid through. I think this is less expensive than buying pre-printed practice paper. Quote

dreamon Posted November 9, 2010 at 02:17 AM Report Posted November 9, 2010 at 02:17 AM For those who use LaTeX, here is a script for the grid (with thick lines to use underneath a white paper sheet): \documentclass{article} \topmargin=-1.4in \oddsidemargin=-0.89in \textheight=11in \textwidth=8.5in \pagestyle{empty} \begin{document} \begin{picture}(0,0) \linethickness{2pt} \unitlength=13.3333mm \multiput(0,0)(1,0){16}{\line(0,-1){20}} \multiput(0,0)(0,-1){21}{\line(1,0){15}} \linethickness{1pt} \multiput(0.5,-20)(2,0){7}{\dashbox{0.05}(1,20)[l]{}} \put(14.5,-20){\dashbox{0.05}(0.5,20)[l]{}} \multiput(0,-1.5)(0,-2){10}{\dashbox{0.05}(15,1)[l]{}} \end{picture} \end{document} Edit: Here I attached the PDF of the grid. It is for the U.S. Letter paper format, you will have to tweak the numbers for A4. grid.pdf Quote
Shelley Posted November 9, 2010 at 05:54 PM Report Posted November 9, 2010 at 05:54 PM I made some practice sheets up for myself using excel.If I knew how I would happily share them. Not sure how to share an excel file here. Shelley :mellow: Quote
jbradfor Posted November 9, 2010 at 06:02 PM Report Posted November 9, 2010 at 06:02 PM Add it as an attachment to your post. If it won't let you add an .xls file, just go and rename the file to add ".txt" at the end, e.g. grid.xls.txt, and post that. [Roddy, why does the system care what type of file you attach?] Quote
renzhe Posted November 9, 2010 at 06:49 PM Report Posted November 9, 2010 at 06:49 PM [Roddy, why does the system care what type of file you attach?] Viruses, most likely. And excel sheets can contain them. That said, roddy probably left it with at the forum software defaults. Quote
Shelley Posted November 9, 2010 at 08:28 PM Report Posted November 9, 2010 at 08:28 PM It wouldn't let me attach excel file so I have made it a PDF. Hope it works.CharacterPracticeSheet2.pdf Quote
