Subject:
FORMAT OF STS
Dear Mr. Davis:
Enclosed is the Corel8 WordPerfect (WP) format information for the Standard Technical Specifications (STS), titled "STS Formats," that we agreed to send you during our recent meeting on Revisions 2 of the STS.
This information may be useful when you update the Writers Guide, but does not completely address the format of every section of the STS. The information covers Section 1.1, Definitions, Chapter 3, Limiting Conditions of Operation, and Chapter 3, Bases. A similar summary could be prepared for the balance of the specifications and bases, if it is deemed useful. Since the Corel8 version makes extensive use of styles for formatting and general text entries, the enclosed information is structured based on the styles used, and the formats established by them.
If a user wished to format their TS, most commonly for conversions, in the Corel8 WP format of the STS, they would not require the detail information related to style formats as noted in the enclosed summary, but rather guidance on how to use the existing styles. On the other hand if a user wished to format their TS in another format such at MicroSofts Word, some if this information related to the general page layout format may be useful.
A document on the Corel8 format was published on the NRC STS Home Page, that currently does not have a link to it. This document is titled "The Corel 8 Version of NRC's Standard Technical Specifications, NUREG's 1430 - 1434" and was dated 02/04/99. It has not been checked for accuracy with respect to the current STS, however, it does serve as another example that, if updated, may be useful in updating the Writers Guide. Therefore, it is also enclosed.
2 J. Davis Februry 3, 2000 It is recommended that you take a look at both of the enclosures so that we might further discuss actions which could be taken, those that would be most useful and time beneficial, for assisting in the update of the Writers Guide. We welcome your comments on this matter.
Sincerely,

10Margins values as converted from WP5 format, could be standardized in the range of 0.08" to 0.1" if developing a new table (Changes might require some adjustment in Tab Settings.).
11Headings have [Hd Center on Margin] to center them (carry over from WP5 format, cell could have had centered text).
12Line height is 0.18" that gives 0.36" separation between two lines that have a blank line between them. Row margins give 0.41" separation between the last line in one row and the first line in the next row. Since each Required Action for the same Condition starts in a new row, 0.41" is the separation between the Logical Connector, in one row, and the text of the Required Action that follows it in the next row.

13For a Condition cell which spans two or more pages, Corel8 places a line, as defined for that cell, at the bottom of each page where that cell continues on the next page. Therefore, when the Required Actions for the last Condition of the Actions table are on two or more pages, the Condition column must be split into two rows, with the second row starting at the top of the last page of the table. The row with the Condition (cell) has a single bottom line, the row on the last page (cell) has a double bottom line.
14Margins values as converted from WP5 format, could be standardized in the range of 0.08" to 0.1" if developing a new table (Changes might require some adjustment in Tab Settings.).
