Abstract:
A method of tuning layout code in an universally readable document file, comprising:(a) creating a document file in a universal format with layout code generating an original document layout;(b) compiling a target list of word processor applications into each of which the document file is to be retrieved in a corresponding target document layout, the target document layout for each word processor application on the list desired to be substantially identical to the original document layout; and(c) making selected customizations to the layout code in the document file, each of said customizations making the target document layout for at least one word processor application on the list more closely identical to the original document layout;the customizations selected from the group consisting of:(1) setting paper size to default for the native country;(2) setting margins all round as narrow as is allowed by printable area;(3) inserting a leading empty plain flowing text paragraph;(4) inserting a leading empty frame; and(5) sequencing document frames in logical reading order.
