Implementing good typography is often a chore and a bore . For everyone , not just for lawyers . ◊ em { Paragraph and character styles } eliminate most of the drudgery .
Styles are the DNA of document layout . Styles make it easy to control typography across a single document . They also let you make templates that can be reused across multiple documents . The result is better , more consistent typography in every document with less work per document .
I find it curious that so many lawyers don ’ t know how to use styles . They format their documents the old - fashioned way: word by word and paragraph by paragraph .
Do you verify your spelling by having a human being read your draft ? No , you use an automated spell - checker . Do you copy a document by putting each page on the photocopier glass ? No , you put the whole thing in the sheet feeder .
If you plan to have a long - term relationship with good typography , I recommend you learn how to use styles too .
