Long quotations and footnotes may be single-spaced. Only one side of the paper can be used. The type size should be 10-point or larger. When using mono-spaced printers, select fonts of 12 or 10 characters per inch. Because the manuscript will be reduced in size on microfilm, the larger pica type is recommended.
Laser print is acceptable as long as it is on paper that meets the qualifications listed above.
Dot-matrix print is not acceptable . Photocopies made from poor-quality originals cannot be reproduced properly in microform. These poor-quality copies tend to occur most frequently in manuscript appendices. See section titled Illustrations and Photographs for instructions. Make corrections on the original manuscript before it is photocopied.
