How to create Large Print Documents
FACS, including your agency, should produce large print versions of materials being distributed to an external audience where there may be older people or people with a vision impairment.
Use this document as your template for a large print document.
Font
Use Arial font type and at least 18 point. Bold and underlines are ok to use when differentiating headings etc, but not italics.
Spacing
Leave a 1.25 space between the lines.
Headings
Headings and sub-headings should be larger and bolder than regular large print text. Once again bolding or underlining can be used, but not italics.
Paragraphs
Paragraphs in large print should be block style and use 2.5 cm margins. The left margin should be justified and the right hand margin should not be justified. There should be no indentations for delineate paragraphs.
What to avoid
Columns and divided words.
