Abstract: A method of enhancing the production of typeset runarounds involves providing a set of light transmissive overlays having straight line rectangular grid configurations to the operator of the phototypesetter, together with a worksheet for recording line indentation data; selecting one overlay having horizontal grid line spacing corresponding to spacings between the lines of the text to be typeset, superimposing the selected overlay so that the edges thereof are aligned with the extremities of the text, recording indentation information which is readily made apparent by virtue of the overlay placement, and thereafter employing the recorded indentation data during the phototypesetter process.
