I keep to a standard book style as well – especially as we are required (per Medical Device Regulations) to provide printed manuals when requested.

It's no extra trouble, and the docs look more professional is they ever need to show or refer to those printed versions.

The more technical, the more people expect the layout to have right/left pages. -- Shmuel Wolfson Technical Writer 052-763-7133 On 18-Dec-14 3:55 PM, Keith Soltys wrote: That's essentially the format I've adopted for our current templates. I publish to our web server using WebWorks Reverb for our primary format, but use PDFs for reviews and for externally distributed documents. Documents with large complex tables are usually easier to read on paper and some of our diagrams have to be printed out in tabloid size (or larger) to be readable.

Our pages are numbered consecutively straight through the entire document, starting at the front cover, so that the PDF page number always matches the printed page number.
