Type Size (Pitch)
Choose your type size carefully. Most body text should be set no smaller than 10 or 12 cpi. Use the 10 or
12 cpi pitch settings for routine memos, letters, etc., that you want to appear to be typewritten. For a
polished, professional typeset look in your document, use the proportional pitch setting. With proportional
printing, narrow letters like i and l take up less width than wide letters like w and m.
The smaller type sizes (15, 17, 20 cpi) should be reserved for illustration labels, sidebars, footnotes, etc.
Theyre also ideal for printing spreadsheets with lots of data to squeeze in.
For headlines, youll want to use some of the special effects described below.
