Tips:

• Define sections in such a way that the recipient can quickly and easily find what is of interest
• Compile a table of contents
• Use meaningful titles and headings so as to indicate a subdivision
• Be consistent with typographical emphasis techniques:
  • bold and italicized font
  • underlining
  • UPPER/lower case contrast
  • colour ,
  • borders
  • graphics, diagrams, graphs and tables

Tips:

• Avoid presenting crowded information
• Use generous margins and spread out the information
• Avoid creating irregular spaces in the document, for example by using left alignment
• Leave empty spaces to allow the recipient to take notes
• Avoid word breaks (i.e. from the end of one line to the beginning of the next)

Tips:

• Use serifed fonts for the body of the text and limit sans serif fonts to titles and subtitles
• Use a 12-point type or larger
• Avoid text or sentences all in uppercase
• Use bold format wisely to emphasize important ideas
• Use underlining sparingly: it considerably reduces readability
• Avoid light characters or colours on a dark background
