TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Top 1"
Bottom 1" (we have an ugly legal disclaimer that has to appear in the footer)
Left 2"
Right 1"
(Used to be left & right 1" with a 1" gutter, but we no
longer actually print and I always assume that a pfd will
be printed single sided)
Body text 10pt, default leading - paragraph text works out
to be 5.5 inches wide.
Chapter title begins about 1.5" from the top of the page.

> Our organization is in the process of reviewing page standards and I would

> 1. What are your page margins for 8.5 x 11 in document formats? We currently
> use 0.5 inch top and bottom margins and 1 inch right and left margins.
> 2. What size font do you use for your first four levels of titles?
> Currently our point sizes are as follows:
> Level 1 - 22pt
> Level 2 - 18pt
> Level 3 - 14pt
> Level 4 - 14pt condensed
> Normal text - 12 pt
> 3. Finally, at about how far down from the top margin do you begin the
> following?
> Level 1 (chapter) title
> First line of text
> Thank you all in advance for your input.
