Looking for great document designs
When it comes to ideas or inspiration for web pages I usually turn to
www.coolhomepages.com which highlights the websites that are aesthetically and functionally appealing. I'm looking for ideas and/or examples of business documents that have these same qualities. I truly believe that the way information is displayed is just as important as the information itself. Does anyone know of any sites, books, etc. that have examples of well-designed business documents? I'm already familiar with the book "MS Office Document Designer" by Krieger. These do not have to be isolated to MS Office documents. I'm looking for great ways to present business-related information ranging from process/policy documents to financial information. -Rob |

Hi
I suggest you start with a good book on typography. Robert Bringhust's The Elements of Typographic Style is my favourite, although it's in no way specific to Word. Then, read just about anything by Edward Tufte. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "robgr" wrote in message ...

Hi Shauna,
Thanks for the reply. I am very familiar with Tufte and his book Envisioning Information. He also has a site with a wealth of information, however I must say that ironically the site is difficult to navigate and access information. Since asking this question I did come across the site www.designiy.com. This is exactly what I was looking for in that it contains links to design resources, articles, examples, and more. -Rob "Shauna Kelly" wrote: Hi I suggest you start with a good book on typography.
