AKA – the boring details that are also very important.

  • Page = 8.5″ by 11″, portrait, single column, single sided

  • Margins = 3/4″ or 1.9cm around
  • Font = Times New Roman 12 pt (or a comparable font) ** to ensure that font size stays acceptable do not allow page scaling in the pdf **
  • Spacing = single spaced (6 lines per inch)
  • Condensed font and spacing = not allowed
  • Enter your name and PIN at the top of every page (OUTSIDE THE SET MARGINS)
  • Number pages consecutively following the forms

Sometimes it is preferential to choose a sans-serif font (Arial, Verdana) rather than a serif font (Times New Roman) because it is easier on the eye to read on screen, however, note that Arial 12 point is larger than TNR 12 point! So choose your font carefully. (Serif fonts generally have extensions and flares on the ends and corners of letters.)
