Bulleted & Numbered Lists

• All bulleted lists should start with a capital letter. Bullets should not end with periods or semicolons, but rather all with nothing or all with periods. Use periods only when at least one of the bullets is a complete sentence.

Example
These include:
– impedance at increasing speed,
– leakage flux probe for shorted turns,
– running Hipot and insulation resistance tests.

Corrected
These include:
– Impedance at increasing speed
– Leakage flux probe for shorted turns
– Running Hipot and insulation resistance tests

Miscellaneous Layout Notes:

• Search the EPRI website using the TR number for full reference. Go to: https://www.epri.com to find: https://www.epri.com/research/products/000000003002030678

  Example
  EPRI report 3002030678, “Considerations for Justifying Generator Rewinds”

  Corrected
  Considerations for Justifying Generator Rewinds. EPRI, Palo Alto, CA: 2024. 3002030678.

• The word Figure should always be spelled out (do not use Fig 1 or Fig. 1, etc. – it should be Figure 1)

Example
Change Figs 2-17 and 2-18 below are from this paper:

Corrected
Figure 2-17 and Figure 2-18 are from this paper.

• Titles should not be in all caps – change to Title Case
• Number ranges should have en dashes (not dashes) with no spaces around them

Example
2.3 – 3.5 kV/mm (58.4 – 88.9 V/mil)

Corrected
2.3–3.5 kV/mm (58.4–88.9 V/mil)

• Remove the words “below” and “above” when referring to a figure or table in the text, and the sentence should not end with a colon.

Example
This is illustrated in Figure 1 below:

Corrected
This is illustrated in Figure 1.

• Punctuation should be inside of quotation marks, and EPRI reports should be in italics:

Example
For more information on transpositions, see “Generator Rewind Technology and Efficiency Improvements”, Moore, Tarrant, and Melaia, Powergen South Africa 2015, and EPRI report 3002018610 “Best Practices to Avoid Problems During Generator Stator Rewinds”.

• There should always be a space between a number and its units.

Example
50g (0.11lb)

Corrected
50 g (0.11 lb)

• There should not be any spaces around an em dash.

Example
Essentially, the rotor bends like a simple beam — the center of the shaft bows out while the ends pivot.

Corrected
Essentially, the rotor bends like a simple beam—the center of the shaft bows out while the ends pivot.

• Headers should be in title case.

Example
3.7.5 Final testing – Wound Stator

Corrected
3.7.5 Final Testing – Wound Stator

• In text, “Section” should be capitalized.

Example
Copper testing as per section 2.2 Copper Considerations

Corrected
Copper testing as per Section 2.2 Copper Considerations

Inserting Cross-References

Insert Reference Cross-Links

1. Highlight the text you want to link which is just the number (not the bracket)
2. Go to the Insert tab on the ribbon.
3. In the Links group, click Cross-reference.
4. In the Cross-reference dialog box, select “Numbered item” from the Reference type dropdown menu.
5. Choose what you want to “Insert reference to.” Choose “Paragraph number”.
6. Select the specific numbered item you want to link to from the list that appears.
7. Check the box for Insert as hyperlink if you want it to be clickable.
8. Click Insert and then Close. 

1. Highlight the text you want to link
2. Go to the Insert tab on the ribbon.
