    Whats the report for? School? Client? Corporate?

    Either way a good report will have your executive summary, intro, body sections, observations, conclusions, appendices and workscited/bibliography.

    -The font, spacing, ect. would depend on the type of report, but for a lengthy report I generally provide numerous paragraph breaks and subheads - but like to keep it to 1-1.15 line spacing.

    Font's, generally stick with the basics - (Times New Roman, ect.) again you can determine this based off the audience receiving it.

    You make have a requested format like MLA/APA/Chicago, if so follow that format. But your best bet is to search in Google to find a visual on the report design.

    Cheers,

    In that case make it an easy read, no format necessary but give it some whitespace. I'de normally stick with a 12pt font, depending on the style of your layout you can choose a corresponding font.

    Lots of spacing, paragraph breaks ect. but keep a focused line for the readers eyes. Best of luck luck with your campaign!

    Cheers,
