The same basic style for text is used in all<br />

print, overhead, and slide presentations:<br />

• Use a fine (thin) horizontal line at the top of<br />

the presentation format. Place the headline<br />

above the line and the body text below it.<br />

• Set type flush left, ragged right.<br />

•Use at least one point of additional space<br />

between lines of type.<br />

• Do not indent paragraphs; instead, skip at<br />

least one-half line space between paragraphs.<br />

Text Style General Guidelines<br />

Headline & Top Horizontal Line<br />

Typeface: Univers 68.*<br />

248.03.01<br />

Keep the headline and top horizontal line the<br />

same size and in the same position on all pages<br />

or transparencies, whether the text and headlines<br />

are long or short.<br />

Because most laser printers cannot print up to<br />

the edge of the paper, in the examples of print<br />

presentations and overhead transparencies on<br />

pages 03.02 and 03.03, the top horizontal line<br />

is shown beginning at the left margin, aligned<br />

with the left edge of the headline and text.<br />

Nevertheless, if the line can bleed left off the<br />

format, it should, as shown in the examples of<br />

slides on page 03.04.<br />

Body Text<br />

Typefaces<br />

• Body copy: ITC New Baskerville<br />

• Subheads and highlights: Univers 68*<br />

For recommended type sizes, see page 01.03.<br />

Begin the body text at least one line space below<br />

the horizontal line used at the top of all<br />

presentation formats. Keep this beginning point<br />

the same on all pages or transparencies, whether<br />

the body text is long or short.<br />

When listing items,<br />

• for first-level indents, use solid bullets<br />

• for second-level indents, use short dashes<br />

*For names used in computer typesetting, see the footnote<br />

on page 01.03.
