In the real business world, what Fonts and Margins do you use in Technical
Documents as a general rule of thumb?

I'm thinking about using:
Body Text - Arial 12 pt
Header-Footer - Arial 10 pt
Section Titles -Chapter Titles -Headings
(perhaps Book Antiqua or Times New Roman)?

Margins:
What do you generally set for Left Right Margins?
1 inch, 2 inches...?

Left Margin  - Do always use Indents for Paragraphs?
If so - do you use Positive Indents?
How many inches?

Top Bottom Margins? 2, 3 inches?
Header Footer - inches from edge?
Gutter - inches?

Do you indent your Headings?
If so, Center or Right-Justified? How many inches?

Number and Bullet Lists - How far do you Indent inside the Normal Paragraph
1 inch?

Thanks to all in Advance!
