Check your alignment

By W. Grant Carson, editor, Big D Bulletin

Some Layout and Reproduction judges are sensitive to alignment. Two I know of are Dick Girvin and Waldo Redekop. And, why not? Having good alignment vertically, with crisp gutters, and having good alignment horizontally, with lines of print even, make a bulletin look better.

Then I clip them out when I'm done.

This is incredibly easy on a Macintosh in ClarisWorks Draw, but even works in MicroSoft Word on a Wintel machine. I checked it out at work, where I'm forced to use one of those.
