Margin
Alignment
To
improve
the
appearance of documents and
t
is
sometimes
an
advantage
to
have
the
right
1and
margin
as
Straight
as
tho
left.
A
rough
draft
ol
such
work
should
first
be
typed
so
as
to
calculate
the
aumber
of
letters
that
require
levelling
on
each
line.
(he
shortest
line
of
the
draft
is
taken
as
the
standard
id
a
vertical
line
is
drawn
at
the
end
of
this
as
shown
n
the
example.
the letters on the other lines which are outside this
limit
must
be brought within it by means of the correcting
space
bar
when the fair
copy
is
typed.
nstead of making the shortest line the standard, another
ine
of
average
length
may
be
selected
and the
vertical
line
drawn
from
there.
In
this
case
any
letters
outside
the
line
must
be
compressed
within
it, whilst
lines which
are
shorter
must
be
extended.

The
second
method
described
has
the
advantage
that
up
to
8
letters
per
line
may
be
compensated.
Insertions
for
the
number
of
letters
which
come
outside
the
line,
and
extensions
for
the
number
of
letters
which
fall
short
of
it
may
thus
be
anticipated
and
spread
over
the
whole
line.
Insertions
are
made
by
writing
the
word
which
is
to
be
compressed
in
the
following
manner:
depress
space
bar,
type
the
first
letter
and
then
release
the
space
bar
—
depress
space
bar
—
type
release
space
bar
etc.
To
lengthen
lines
proceed
as
follows:
after
typing
the
last
letter
of
a
word
depress
space
bar,
release
it
and
press
again,
type
the
first
letter
of
the
next
word
and
release
the
space
bar
—
depress
space
bar
—
type
a
letter
etc.
After
typing
the
last
letter
release
space
bar
and
tap
it
two
more
times.
Then
continue
writing
the
next
word.
