RE: Page Margin and Font Size Question

["Joe Malin" <jmalin -at- tuvox -dot- com>]

1. Margins:
   .75 top and bottom
   .75 left and right margins
   (but our text flow has a 2.6" side head column, so the 
    effective body text size is roughly 4.2")
2. Point size for heads
   These are our inline heads, the chapter title is different.
   Head1 - 16
   Head2 - 14
   Head3 - 12
   Head4 - 12
   Body text - 10 point
   (we also use different positioning and font weight for each heading)
3. Beginning
   Chapter Title - Our chapter title is "level 0", formatted differently
that in-line headings.
   It is in a 1-column 1-row table within a separate text frame,
starting 1.125" below the top.
   First line of text on the title page starts at 3".
   First line of text on other pages start .75" below top.
   Body text paragraph has 9 pt space above and below.

I developed these standards based on previous experience and also
information from "Xerox Publishing Standards", Xerox Corporation, Xerox
Press, 1988, especially chapter 4.
