Margins & Justification

The text should be fully justified. The first line of all but the first paragraph of each section and subsection should be indented the equivalent of five spaces (five em spaces). The leading in reports is usually left to be 2 points. This would make it the equivalent of a type writters single spaced. However because your reports are also an academic exercise that your professor will mark (evaluate and scribble on), we require that you make them one and a half spaced.

The margins are set according to Table 5.1
