Chinese, Japanese, Korean Character Practice Paper?

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.

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.

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?]

Here is a LaTeX script that leaves some space between character rows, for pinyin:

\documentclass{article}

\topmargin=-0.93in

\oddsidemargin=-0.95in

\textheight=11in

\textwidth=8.5in

\pagestyle{empty}

\begin{document}

\begin{picture}(0,0)

\unitlength=0.5in

\linethickness{2pt}

\multiput(0,0)(0,-1.33){16}{\line(1,0){16}}

\multiput(0,1)(0,-1.33){16}{\line(1,0){16}}

\multiput(0,0)(0,-1.33){16}{\multiput(0,0)(1,0){17}{\line(0,1){1}}}

\linethickness{1pt}

\multiput(0,0)(0,-1.33){16}{\dashbox{0.05}(16,0.5)[l]{}}

\multiput(0,0)(0,-1.33){16}{\multiput(0.5,0)(2,0){8}{\dashbox{0.05}(1,1)[l]{}}}

\end{picture}

\end{document}
