Put
the most important information first.
| • |
Start
with the most important information so people don’t miss it. |
People
often read only the first lines of a document or of each section
of a document. |
Use
headings and subheadings.
Headings and subheadings:
| • |
Help
people find information. |
• |
Make
your document easier to scan. |
• |
Make the way the document is organized more clear. |
• |
Give
useful information to your reader. |
| |
| Do
your headings and subheadings accurately describe what the section
is about? |
Include
a Table of Contents for longer documents.
A Table of Contents:
| • |
Tells
your readers how the document is organized. |
• |
Makes
it easy to find information readers need. |
