Abstract
Abstract A sheet of typing paper or of carbon paper or of backing material has a vertically arranged scale containing indicia representing typing lines on the sheet. The indicia run in numerical order downward from the top line to a position of the sheet where the numerical order is reversed, enabling a typist to determine the position on the sheet where the typing text should be discontinued and where footnotes should be commenced. A feature resides in binding the typed paper within a folder which conceals the scale.
