Where once people used professionals for their graphic design work, DTP allowed the office secretary to do it instead. I'll give you a few examples. There is no need whatsoever to use underlining - this is a left-over from ordinary typewriters in which you only had two way to emphasise something; capitals or underlining. Today you can use italics, bold, CAPITALS, larger sizes and any combination of them all without changing the typeface.May I suggest, to all, that for the purposes of technical illustrations and diagrams use a non-serif type font. Choose colours carefully so they can be clearly seen when printed on paper - people will insist in using yellow on white! This is a particular problem with Paul's e-mails with his choice of pale colours for his responses and small typeface. The type size however may be dictated by the way in which individual's e-mails work.I hope you didn't mind me saying this but it would make things much clearer.Jack :-]
