Paperwork

Template:Gameplay GuidesWriting is an integral part to paperwork and writing books! If you want to write an official department memo, or a good looking book, you're gonna have to know how to write it.

To properly understand this, you need a basic grasp of BBCode or HTML. But don't worry, even if you don't know either, just try copy pasting the examples and replacing the text with your own! Once you're comfortable with that, try experimenting with what works together and how.

Writing

Writing is performed on paper using any standard writing utensil.

• Pens come in a few different colours, black or blue by default, and some departments are provided with red pens. Pens have a variety of functions!
• Crayons work much like pens, except that they are always bold, and lack the list, horizontal rule, and small tags.

You can also use the futuristic technology of word processor, found on consoles, tablets and laptops. You can edit and preview result in the program, and print it out when done, or email it.

Many common forms can be filled out using report editor program that provides easy to use fillable forms.
