GENERAL GUIDELINES
Number of Pages
In order to print a booklet with no blank pages, the total number of pages in the
program must be a multiple of four (including the front and back covers).
If the content of the program must be formatted such that the total number of
pages is not a multiple of four, blank pages should be added just before the back
cover page. If the Program listing (the first page after the front cover) fits on a single
page, then one blank page may instead be inserted after the front cover.
Deleting Sections
To delete a section (such as Texts & Translations if not needed), first clear the
section of all content in the template. Then, position the cursor at the end of the
page preceding the section you wish to delete. Press the number-pad Del key (fn +
Delete on many laptops) repeatedly until the blank pages are removed.
Font, Formatting, and Layout Changes
The Student Recital Program template has been designed to mirror the official USC
Thornton programs used at our concerts, with some modification to make the
template editable in standard word processing software.
In general, the layout and formatting of the template should not be modified—only
the text content. Avoid the following:
» Changing fonts (acceptable fonts are Helvetica or Arial).
» Changing or ignoring the bold and italics formatting where indicated
» Inserting images, except for headshots
» Adding color to text
» Altering the page size or orientation
