Layout Essentials #5 Work on typesetting

Style up your text for an easy on-screen reading experience that really communicates the point.

We love it when ✓

Copy is placed in a Doc first to see how many pages it sits across for a more natural flow

Heading and subheading styles are set with a consistent style throughout the whole Doc (i.e. a combination of large headings and small headings)

Widows/orphans are banished. Remove lonely words on a single line of text by using letter spacing (hold control+option and adjust with left and right keys)

We're not so fond of ✗

Going overboard with letter spacing as this can warp text at the expense of text readability and accessibility

Finalizing your designs before text is provided. It's far easier to commit to layouts when you have your text to work with, then small wording tweaks later down the line shouldn't be an issue
