ABSTRACT:
A typing guide formed of a single backing sheet having footnote indicating indicia printed on the front surface of the backing sheet and footnote samples printed on the back surface of the backing sheet. The footnote indicating indicia provide a dual method of determining footnote spacing. The indicia include a column of numerals printed adjacent one side of the backing sheet and progressively increasing down the column. The numerals are spaced apart from each other a distance equal to the line spacing of a typewriter platen. These numerals are used for accurate determination of footnote spacing. Additionally, several marks are printed in vertical sequence adjacent to the bottom portion of the column of numerals with the marks corresponding to preselected ones of the numerals. The marks are numerically identified by a progressively increasing sequence of numbers commencing from the lowermost mark. These marks are used for a second and more simplified method of footnote spacing. The footnote samples on the back surface are printed in upside down orientation with respect to the front surface, so that as footnotes are being typed, the backing sheet can be bent forward with the footnote samples appearing in upright orientation so that the proper footnote sample can be selected.
