Copy preparation and proof correction -- Design and layout of documents

PUBLISH DATE 2001

BSI BS 5261-1:2000

This part of BS 5261 gives guidance on the preparation of primarily textual documents, both for those producing the version that will be disseminated and for those producing text that will be printed by professionals.

Two approaches to document design will be referred to as direct production and indirect production. Application of the standard will assist in the setting up of an appropriate house style, minimize the amount of additional work before production and result in documents which communicate effectively.

NOTE Many of these principles apply to documents retained and disseminated in an electronic medium, but such documents may require the addition of principles not covered in this standard.

Covers document layout, arrangement of headings and footnotes, choice of typography, ways of dealing with tables and illustrations. Emphasis is on enhancing the usability of documents produced by word processors/PCs and clear communication with intermediaries.
