In business communications, the common practice is to insert two spaces between sentences. For your SSM publication, place only one space after a period at the end of a sentence. Indent the first line of each new paragraph. Indent quotes and numbered or bulleted lists using the paragraph formatting commands in your software program. Place hard returns ONLY at the END of a paragraph or listed item.
Tables contain data in columns and rows.
Figures are illustrations, such as charts, graphs, photographs, or drawings. Tables, figures, and appendixes must be submitted as publication-ready copy on white paper with black ink. Text should be no smaller than 8 point and no larger than 11 points. We prefer text in a Times New Roman or similar serif font. Tables are formatted differently from APA style, in that all borders, grids, and lines should be removed.
