Tables

OREI 2 Paper’s Style Guide

Table Header (A): Arial | 11pts. | bold | flush left. - Units enclosed in parentheses use a normal type format (i.e. %). - None units enclosed in parentheses are in bold (i.e. 2001–2007).

Horizontal line (B): rendered ½ in thickness. - Line is placed after title header (A), before and after the main cell (D). - Use enough space between your data and line. Avoid placing it too close.

Title Header (C): Arial | 9pts. | bold; - First column title header is always in flush left. - Second column up to the last column of the table header are centered. Main cell (D): Arial | 9pts. | regular; - First column flush left. - Second column up to the last column are flushed right. To format the units in these columns, format/ paragraph/ indent and spacing tab/ under indentation/ key-in a value which will apply the necessary space needed for alignment. - Values without decimals or words are best flushed center to simplify structure (G).

Single space: after the horizontal line, apply a single space before the notes and sources.

Notes & Sources (E): Arial | 8pts. | regular | align-left; - Apply a single space to separate the notes and sources. - (F) For best structure align longer notes with the width of the table.

Charts and Figures

A. Title headers for Charts and Figures (Arial | 11pts. | bold | flush left from the y axis of the figure or chart). B. Main figure or chart remains as is. C. Notes and Source (C&D): align flush left from y axis where the vertical line is. Then center them from the graph line up to the end of the line or graph. To format text, use justify setting if the text is long, for short text flush left or align left. Remember to apply a single space before the notes and before source’s information.

Footnotes

Format: Arial | 9pts. | align-left Separate the footnotes from the main text with 5-centimeter horizontal line flush with the left margin. Place superscript footnote indicator numbers flush left.

Format Menu / Bullets and Numbering / Number Tab, click the next choice after none, then click customize button at the lower right, a new box will open “Customize Number List”.

In Customize Number List, “Number format” modify the font used (Arial, superscript, and size 8pts.), below that is “Number Style”, leave it as is, then “Number position” (left, 0 as the value), then “Text Position”, Tab space after: 0.15 inch, indent at: 0.15 inch.

Tables Use superscript numbers, and place footnotes directly below the table (not at the bottom of the page), aligned with its left margin, and if longer format justify, align it with the width of the graph. The number should appear in the table in alphabetical order when reading from the top left across, then down and across, until the bottom right.

Page Numbers

Format: Arial | 11pts. | normal | center Use lower case for all numerals (Arial 11) without parentheses for preliminary pages.

Placements: Place page number in the footer area flush center. In the final version before creating a pdf, pagination always starts from the numeric number 2 on the “Introduction” page.

References

Principle: Cite all quoted or referenced material correctly and completely in a footnote.

General reference models:

In footnotes, abbreviate the name of an organization if the abbreviation has already been spelled out in the main text.

Reference list with more than one document by an author (Use a 3-em dash for subsequent listings by the same author. Arrange entries chronologically, and for those in the same year, alphabetically by title.)

In reference list, spell out the name of an organization and introduce the abbreviation (if necessary) regardless of whether it is already introduced in the main text.

Break a URL (Internet address) that continues to another line after a slash or before a period. Avoid inserting a hyphen at the break.
