17. Sorta related:

We did similar stuff on an IBM Selectric in secretarial skills class.

We crafted newspaper columns, so it was a bit like typesetting. We had to "half-space" letters to get them to fit on a line. We had to do justification of both margins and the whole works, expect with a typewriter.

It was not fun!!

I did not become secretary!!
