• Correct margins

• Top:  0.7  Bottom: .7  Left:  1 Right:  .7
• Header/Footer: .5, .5)

• Letter-size paper
• Text centered vertically on page should NOT be manually aligned by hitting “Enter” — use the “Page Layout” tab

Styles

• Delete any styles that are not used — only Second Edition styles should be in the document
• No paragraph space(“Enter”) after Heading 1 and before the page’s content begins — the style is set with the appropriate spacing
• Styles should be applied to all text; watch for easy to miss styles:

• Continued
• Copyright
• Table Header
• Normal Emphasis”

Navigation panel

• All headings should be “Capitalize Each Word” (except for prepositions) before “Heading 1” style is applied

Headers/Footers

• Linked, where applicable
• On bumper pages, default pagination should be set to “Continued from Previous” before it is removed so that the following page’s pagination does not need to be manually set.
• No extra tabs in the footer
• Pagination is aligned properly with “www.richardson.com”
• Footers aligned with Richardson “R” in the header
• Richardson “R” in header aligned with Customer/Seller/Background Information

Screenshots

• Set to “In Line with Text” — NOT “Square”

MISCELLANEOUS

• “Continued” on all Headings that require it
• No track changes in document
• Consistent file names with accurate content title
• Layers
• No locked layers

Layers

• No locked layers

spreads

• Allow spreads to shuffle so that they fall correctly on the viewing pane/when printing.

links

• Images we are linking to should be named exactly as they appear in the InDesign file so that we don’t have to manually find pictures every single time.

Pagination/footers

• Page number on every page
• Pagination is consistently “01, 02, 03 …” for numbers below 10 — NOT “1, 2, 3 …”
• Purple shading of the page numbers should be consistent (sometimes, the Background Image makes it lighter/darker).
• Copyrights are part of the Master — NOT just a text box on the page.

background images

• Background images on each page should NOT slightly overlap onto the page immediately neighboring them.

Spell Check

• All words that are set to UPPERCASE should be written properly before UPPERCASE is applied so that spell check doesn’t catch them every single time.

error

• There should be no “Errors” showing at the bottom of the screen (toward the bottom left, shown next to a red circle).
• Replace any “Missing Fonts” with a font that we do have access to.
