My manager asked me if this was "accepted business format". HELP! The days when there was one "accepted format" are now 40 or 50 years in the past. There are many accepted formats, and the proper criterion is whether your format accomplishes its objectives. Is it really easy to read? Does it contain all necessary information, and is the information located where people expect to find it? Does it minimize confusion? Do the shading and justification help to meet those objectives, or do they get in the way? Especially with respect to the shading, try viewing it on all the kinds of monitors available in the company, and print it on all the kinds of printers, to be sure it doesn't obscure the text. Ask some people (besides your manager) to look at mockups and tell you their impressions. Look at some of the templates posted at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...s/default.aspx. They aren't necessarily the world's best templates, but they will give you an idea of what's used by some people. Also look on Google for "employee handbook" and related terms, and see what sorts of formats are in use. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
