Dear Andrew, You don't need to retype the documents. Anything you've written should be in 12 point, but external documents like job descriptions where you don't have electronic originals can be included 'as is'. You shouldn't need to provide citations for unpublished documents, as long as the provenance is clear (eg your library service's operational plan is labelled as such). With the position of the number, I think the question to ask yourself is "How clear is this to the assessor?" If the number stands out clearly from the page and would be easy for an assessor to find and navigate by, then you can leave it as is. If the numbering isn't very clear, it's in your own interests to think of an alternative method (eg you could have a title page for each document giving its number). It might be worth showing it to other people such as your mentor or a colleague for their second opinion on how visible the numbers are. I hope this helps - best of luck with your submission, Frances West Midlands CSO On 19/05/2008, Orr Andrew <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > Dear all, > > I think I'm almost ready to submit my portfolio, but I just have one or two > loose ends to tidy up first and a couple of questions: > > 1.
