Appendixes.
2-1.5.1 General Guidelines. Appendixes containing technical guidance should be
written in the same style as the main text (refer to paragraph 2-3). Exception:
Previously published material should retain the original format.
2-1.5.2 Appendix A. Use Appendix A to list references according to the example
provided by Appendix A of this UFC. If references already have been listed in the main
text (refer to paragraph 2-1.3.2), Appendix A and subsequent appendixes may be used
for supplementary technical guidance.
2-1.6
Index. An index is not required for a UFC unless the UFC is long and
complex. Indexes are difficult to develop and maintain and should be used only when
absolutely necessary. Electronic formats allow search and find routines to locate
occurrences of words and phrases.

FORMAT

Page Layout. Prepare final electronic drafts using an 8.5- by 11-inch page

edge of the page. All text is left-aligned at the margin, including paragraph numbers,
except as noted for headers and page numbers.
2-2.1.2 Font. Use a 12-point sans serif font. Helvetica, Arial, and Universal are
acceptable examples. Ensure color fonts appear legible when printed black and white.
2-2.1.3
Paragraphs.
2-2.1.3.1 Numbering. Number all main text and appendix text paragraphs. In main
text, number paragraphs and subparagraphs consecutively from beginning to end, using
a period to separate the numbers representing each breakdown. Limit subparagraphs
to four numbers separated by periods. (Label subparagraphs according to the following
example.) Where a UFC is divided into chapters, number each paragraph
consecutively within the chapter, beginning each paragraph number with the applicable
chapter number followed by a dash. Number paragraphs consecutively within each
appendix, beginning each paragraph number with the letter designation of the appendix
followed by a dash (e.g., A-1, A-1.1). Use this UFC as a guide.
Use no more than two unnumbered paragraphs beneath any numbered
paragraph. Indent the first line of unnumbered paragraphs 10 character spaces from
