Margin

To

improve

the

appearance of documents and

t

is

sometimes

an

advantage

to

have

the

right

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

may

be

Insertions

for

the

number

of

letters

which

come

outside

the

line,

and

extensions

for

the

number

of

letters

which

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

manner:

To

proceed

as

follows:

after

typing

the

depress

release

it

and

press

again,

type
