ABSTRACT
It is the writing of the continuation page-the narrative part of your
report-that determines where you stand or fall as a writer. On the face
page, blanks are provided and the sequence is arranged. Once you have
learned the format and correct abbreviations to use, the writing is fairly
simple, especially in large agencies that have individualized forms for
many procedures. In many agencies, versatility may be required, particu-
larly when one employee handles more than one phase of the work or
when a single face page is used for most types of reports. Reports in
these agencies sometimes combine the face page and the continuation
page (for example, see Figure 4.1).
