Column Guide

What happens when your data replaces the sample

What Column Guide does when the data is longer, shorter or emptier than the sample:

Fixed page furnitureNever grows, never moves

the head rule under the masthead and the foot rule carrying the document reference and revision (fixed height — nothing in either may grow)

Repeats per recordOne block per row of your data

numbered steps inside the column flow; the tolerance rows; the sign-off cells

Grows with your dataAbsorbs long values without breaking

every step's instruction; the caution; the closing note

Pinned to every pageHolds position across page breaks

the head and foot rules sit at the page top and bottom on every page

Order on the pageWhat sits after what

the tolerance table and sign-off follow the fact strip at full measure; the two-column procedure follows them and runs to the page foot

Page breaksWhat may split, what must not

the column flow may run to further pages; the tolerance table, each caution and the sign-off block must not

Last pageHow the document ends

the tail of the procedure may occupy the final page alone; the head and foot rules carry it
