A Guide to Planning Accessible Meetings

Formatting Printed Material

To maximize legibility of printed materials, use:

• A san-serif font, such as Arial or Helvetica

• Narrow text columns rather than wide ones, and right margins that are ragged, not justified

• One-and-one-half or double spacing between lines

• Spacing between letters that is not too tight or too loose

• Lower case letters with initial capitals rather than all capitals

• Black lettering on white, non-shiny paper
