Text Processing Skills/Forms and Emails/Forms

Forms
We prepare forms so that at a later time information can be inserted. If the form is to be completed by hand or on a word processor, sufficient space must be allowed for the person completing the form to insert the information required. Include dotted insertion lines, or straight lines in the appropriate position. Ensure that the lines are long enough for the variable information required i.e. the answers to the questions.

Procedure
Use 1½ or double line spacing to allow sufficient space for typing or writing the information being asked for. The style of line must be consistent within one document.

Arrange the sections in logical sequence and use white space to clearly differentiate between sections.

Use Leader Tabs for the lines on which information is to be written or typed.

Name: ...................................................................................................
