Do you have a question about white papers?

Send them my way and I will post them here with answers.

Theresa sent an email and asked, “What are the margins to set up a ‘White Paper’ design?”

The margins for a white paper are rather variable Theresa.

However, I prefer to use a very wide margin on the left — 2.5 inches.

This wide left margin allows a few advantages:

• You can add call outs at the beginning of major sections
• When people print the paper, they can write notes in the left margin
• The added white space ads visual appeal
• There are less words on the page, making it easier for people to read

Got a question for Mike: Send them to mike@writingwhitepapers.com and include “ASK MIKE” in the subject line.
