Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
255 words
A document format comprising a sheet of material having at least one rectangular character box adapted to be written in on the material confined therein, the rectangular box defined by lines, the vertical height of the box being H and the horizontal width of the box being W, with the ratio of W/H 0.5 to 1.0, the box having two sides and a top and bottom defined by the lines located thereabout, two isosceles triangles positioned in the box as non-mark areas with the apices between the equal edges of the triangles pointing towards each other and lying on an imaginary vertical line dividing the box and triangles in half, the triangles also positioned symetrically within the box with respect to an imaginary horizontal line dividing the box in half, each triangle being of height measured from a bottom edge thereof parallel to the bottom and top lines of the box being defined as Y with Y being equal to one-third to one-eighth of H, the distance between said bottom edge of each of the triangles and the bottom and top lines respectively of the box being defined as X, and the distances between the two apices pointing towards each other being defined as Z and being equal to 2X to 1/2X, the length of bottom edges of the triangles being defined as A, and the distances between the end points of bottom edges and the sides of the box both being equal and defined as R with A being equal to 2R to R/2.
