Hi All,
Camille said (on another thread):
there are "rules" about the right
justification. It is ok if the column
is 1-1.5" wide, but NEVER a 6.5"
Just what are the rules you pros use for justifying text in a newsletter?
In our first issue (June), my daughter and I justified all text. We used three
columns with half inch left and right margin and 0.3 inches between columns.
That meant the text in the columns was 2.3 inches wide on 8 1/2 x 11 paper.
Someone told us left justification would look better. We adopted that style
for the July and August issues because of the comment, but mainly because it
is easier to do.
Someone else told us the left and right margins are too narrow. We kept the
half-inch left and right margins but used more banner headlines and vertical
spacing between header and footer. We also added a little more white space
around our graphics.
I'd be glad to hear about any "standards" or generally accepted practices for
text justification and/or margin width.
This might set off another flood of messages as did my question about one
space or two, however, I think all those comments were very enlightening, and
I set Tools | Options | Spelling & Grammar to require one space after sentence
end.
Thanks for all the help.
Ray Shapp
