Document Guidelines
(Delete pages 2 and 3 if using this document as a template.)
Note: This template document can be used to create a new Word document
that will have the correct formatting. To create your own document
select Save as from the File menu, then change the file name to the
name of your new document, select to save it as a “.doc” file, and
check that it will save to the destination drive/folder you want.
(Note: “.doc” files are more compatible across different computer
systems and web pages than “.docx” files.) Then edit the date in the
footer to the current date or date a revision is completed. You can do
that by double-clicking in the footer area and editing the date; then
select the Close button above the footer.
Text document best practices:
*
Microsoft Word is the preferred word processing software.
*
The header shall include the PDA logo on left (in template) and
team name (content label) on the right (see list of official team
names below).
*
The footer shall contain the file creation/revision date on the
left and the page number on the right (in template). Note: you
will have to manually edit the footer date (see above).
*
Headers and footers shall be separated by a blue line (in
template).
*
Use Cambria 12 pt. font, single spacing for text body (Ariel if
Cambria not available).
*
Section headings shall be Cambria, bold, sized 2 points higher
than the text or heading(s) below it. For example, if need three
levels of headings, make lowest level 14 pt., then next highest 16
pt., and document title 18 pt. (see sample scenarios below).
*
Bullet points (Word default) – Solid dot points for first bullet
level
*
Clear circle points for second level
*
Solid square points for third level
*
Spell out all acronyms the first time they are used in a document.
*
Team Names – to be used for consistently identifying content
categories on web pages and for labeling the header of content
files.
