2d DCA formatting guidelines

The Electronic Formatting Requirements and Guidelines of the Second District (effective Oct. 30) are worth a careful look. The formatting guidelines (which are not yet mandatory, but why wouldn't you follow them?) include the following:

Font Style -- Stop using Times New Roman and switch to a Century Schoolbook-type font for text. For headings, use a sans serif font (e.g., Helvetica or Arial).

Font size -- Use 13-point size for text (including footnotes!) and 14-point for headings.

Spacing -- Stop using your word processors default "double spacing" which inserts too much space, and use 1.2 spacing.

Margins -- Use 1.5" margins on all sides

Alignment -- Use Left aligned text. Stop using fully justified text.
