- An unbound report might include some fifteen or twenty
- pages of copy. These materials can be held together by one
- staple that is entered on the diagonal about three-quarters
- of an inch inward from the upper left corner. For a report
- to be bound, the general procedure is to place two or three
- staples down the left side of the report; with such a bound
- report, the left margin must be expanded from a single inch
- to one and one-half inches. No changes, however, are to be
- made in the other page margins. Bound reports require that
- headings be centered from the midpoint of the writing line.
- Usually, the initial page of a report is not numbered,
- but each following page must possess a number. The numbers
- can be keyed in several locations. A suggestion is offered
- that these numbers be placed at the top center of the page,
- some four lines down from the upper edge of the paper. The
- keyed page number is then followed by a triple space before
- the keying of the body is resumed. An option of the worker
- is to place hyphens before and after the page number. This
- use of hyphens serves to make the numbers more prominent on
- the page. The keying of reports demands an alert operator.
