Margin Alignment
Where
special
advertising
letters,
circulars
or
other
documents
require
the
right-hand
margin
to
be
as
even
as
the
lett-hand
margin,
a
rough
draft
of
such
work
should
be
typed
first,
to
calculate
the
number
of letters to be levelled
out
on each line.
The shortest,
or
another
line
of
average
length
can
be
taken
as
the
standard, and a vertical line drawn at the end of this
as
shown
in
the
example.
The
letters
on
the
other
lines
which
are
inside
or
outside
this
limit
can
be
adjusted by using the correcting space bar to reduce
or
increase
the
spaces
between
words.
