Book Manufacturing Concepts
///////////////////////////////
- Alter line spacing (MS Word instructions follow):
- Double check what font size you are currently using (for use later).
- Highlight the text you want to "shrink".
- Click "format" from the pull down menus at the top.
- Choose "paragraph" from the list that expands - this will bring up a new dialog box.
- Verify you are on the "indents and spacing" tab - not the "line and page breaks" tab.

Genealogy ideas

Back to basics: Consider buying a box of #10 envelopes. They fit inside a standard business envelope (#10) without folding. A folded SASE adds more thickness than a folded letter in a flat SASE. This sometimes causes envelopes to get caught in automated machinery. This is a good addition to your "tool box" for queries and SASE.
