Document Summary
Use white space to separate and emphasize points. Headings, mix paragraph lengths, lists (tabs, indents, numbers when sequence matters and bullets when sequence does not matter) When a list is used, ensure that all of the items are parallel to each other and fit into the sentence structure of the sentence that introduces the list. Headings are words/phrases that group points and divide letter/memo/report into sections. Make sure they cover all the material until the next heading. Keep headings at same spacing and keep them parallel (nouns, complete sentences, questions. Limit the use of words set in all caps. We recognize letters based on shape and the caps ruins the shapes of the letters. Typewriter fonts are fixed - every letter takes up the same space. Computers usually use proportional fonts where wider letters get more space than narrower letters. Serif fonts have little extensions(serifs) that help read the words easier.
