This mix creates design and presentation challenges for both hardcopy and electronic information. A high-quality document is consistent in the way elements are treated. Page numbers appear in the same location on every page. The same font is used for all first-level headings. All bulleted lists are indented the same number of spaces. Abbreviations acronyms and plural formations are standardized. Equations are either numbered or not numbered but the practice is unchanged throughout all documents in a series. The widespread use of computers to communicate scientific and technical information has created more interest than ever in standards for format and style. Required page formats can be stored as electronic templates. Writer s choices over matters of language structure and design elements can be limited so that consistency is achieved across an entire document or set of documents. Developing Document Standards Writers in government corporate and academic settings are rarely the first people in their organization to write memos or letters to prepare a set of presentation slides or to bind progress reports. Many work settings already have standard formats for memos and letters preprinted covers for reports templates for transparencies and slides and house style for settling questions about the treatment of oversized illustrations. In some work settings document standards are transmitted informally Authors ask colleagues who have already prepared similar documents or they examine models of earlier work. In other settings standards are transmitted through a written style guide. The style guide may have been especially prepared for authors in one organization. It may be a field-specific manual like the American Chemical Society s Manual for Authors and Editors or it may be a more general reference book like The Chicago Manual of Style. It may be a military specification or a publication standard .
