ABSTRACT
This chapter begins with an outline of the ways a report can be read. Companies and academic institutions sometimes have instructions for the writing of various types of report. To make a report accessible it is important to have a title or other heading that the reader can use for orientation at least every one or two pages. The main thing is that readers are able to obtain sufficient information from the titles: the comprehensibility of titles is more important than their length. The structure of a text is essential to its usefulness. Readers who want to read the whole text or parts of it completely should not be put off by a poorly organized structure or bad formulations, or by too many details or calculations. Vague titles not only have the disadvantage that it is difficult to predict the content of the section but they also obscure the connection between chapters and sections.
