Headings Use clear and consistent style for headings and subheadings. Highlighting Use boxes to separate key information from the rest of your text. Use bullets for point form lists. Use italics to emphasize a phrase or word. Use color or shaded areas to set text apart.
Table of contents Make a table of contents for long documents.
Use an Introduction section in shorter documents. This helps readers find the information they are looking for. It is especially helpful for people with low reading skills. Type style and size Choose a solid, plain typeface which is easy to read. Don't combine more than three different typefaces on the same page because it will give a busy, confusing appearance.
