Article Insertion

Having completed my article, I pasted the copy text into my existing double page spread, to see (with the revisions) how the text fitted/ filled the pages, and what adjustments would be required. Due to the now slightly shortened length of the article, the copy text did not fill the pages to their entirety, as I had planned. To combat this, I began with changing the font size, in whole numbers, e.g from 11.00 to 12.00. In doing this, I found that article became too long for the pages by around three paragraphs. To combat this, I reduced the line spacing to 14pt. and adjusted the font accordingly. As entire units were too large when changing my font, I graduated my enlargement from 11.00 by single units, 11.01 - 11.03 - 11.04 etc, until settling on 11.09, which was the ideal size for my article.This has allowed me to have an almost 'finished' article, which can be revised slightly were my time scale to allow it.
