| Page layout | Very neat. Many pages divided into ruled segments depending on length of items and of lines. Most pages oriented with binding on left, but some, especially lengthy ones, are oriented to have the lines run along the binding. Most items have a double ruled line at end; ruled lines also divide items on the page, so most items are contained within their own textbox. |
