Abstract
In this paper it is argued that the findings of Bell and Sullivan concerning student preferences for the various typographic settings of a single paragraph were limited (i) because the students judged the paragraph out of context, and (ii) because typographic decision‐making about layout cannot be done solely on the basis of one method of evaluation.Keywords
