[Stylist] basic tutorial on prepping docs for sighted readers

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

What type of doc are we talking about? It depends. Not all documents are
full of visual stuff for sighted people. It really depends on what type of
document you are creating. Newsletter, grad paper, magazine article, work
briefing, etc.

Not looking for something that tells me what I have done-but what
specifically to do to enhance how a doc looks to sighted readers. Mine, at
this point, are very plain, and I just want to pretty them up in ways that
are typical, but because I am not a native print user, I am not sure always
of what markings, graphics or whatever work for given situations. What I
ineffectively articulated before is, I could probably learn this by reading
a typical doc using the super-detailed settings in JAWS, but am loath to,
because of mild Aspergers that makes that kind of fine detail
crazymaking-too much of a good thing! So, I'd rather have someone explain
what works best for people, what makes docs pleasing to the eye, and how to
accomplish it (though the how-to's, I can probably learn elsewhere). So,
hope this clarifies somewhat.

Something is wrong, I know it, if I don't keep my attention on eternity. May
I be the tiniest nail in the house of the universe, tiny but useful.
