Report Architect

Front matter orients and summarises, the body argues, back matter documents. Sort all fourteen parts into their zone, put them in an order that makes sense, and the table of contents on the right paginates itself — roman numerals in front, arabic from page 1. Then switch on a reader and see how few doors any one person actually uses.
Place all fourteen parts
Use F front matter, B body, K back matter. Arrows reorder within a zone. Order counts: a report that opens with its methods is a different document from one that opens with its recommendation.
