How to compile to German "Normseite"

Hi there, what I do at the moment: I have created a compile setting with only the margins for Normseite. The rest I change in Word (Font, line spacing, sometimes line numbers) according to what I need. I see that less and less publishers are really strict on the topic.

Good luck!

Cheers, Johanna

Hi,

@Johanna: Well, yes, it is true that many publishers are not restricted to the “Normseite” any more if it is for a book, but it is still important for articles often paid per “Normseite” or for the price of corrections or proofreading.

Anyway, I was able to create a template for the compiler which fulfils the 30 lines with max. 60 characters (space included). It is attached. The font and size is what’s typically used or mentioned if the “Normseite” is discussed.

If there are any further adjustments needed, just let me know. Thanks.

Thanks a lot! This is great, I will try it out later. Thanks for sharing!:heart_eyes:

Hope it will work for you and the others.

Johanna, I hope you did well over the last weeks. Did you had the chance to test the “Normseite” template? I wonder if it works on other machiens as well?

Hi! Yes, I was able to import it and it works! In the last few months I have not needed the “Normseite”, but it is good to know I have a solution ready! Thanks a lot for tweaking and sharing! :slightly_smiling_face:
