Illustrations, tables, charts, etc. should have captions or legends.

The "keep out trouble" rule is to use Microsoft Word's Insert…Caption function.

The "traditional" rule is in the Chicago Manual of Style section about this (11.24-43).

Bulleted Lists[edit | edit source]

Use a tab between the bullet and the first word. A space will vary in width, if your list has justified text.
