Copy Presentation.

* Put your name in the top lefthand corner of the page followed by a slash and the number of the page you are working on.

* Put a tagline in the top righthand corner of the first page and every page, followed by a slash and the number of the page. The tagline should be brief and describe the nature ofthe story. Its purpose is to instantly identify the copy and enable your editor to distinguish it from other articles being produced elsewhere on the newsdesk.

* At the end of each page (if appropriate) write MORE FOLLOWS/... in the bottom righthand corner. At the end of the entire article write ENDS.

* Do not break works (for example with hypens) at the end of lines or across pages.

* Use double-spacing and do not indent paragraphs.

* Keep your copy "neutral" - do not use italics or bold. Do not attempt to write a headline unless you are asked to do so.
