THIS GUIDE IS CURRENTLY OUTDATED DUE TO TG CODING ISSUES AND WILL BE UPDATED SOON (WITH MORE INFORMATION!)
Do YOU like doing paperwork? Are you a general form enthusiast? Perhaps you lavish in wasting the time of others or just want to enhance your roleplay experience? Need something to do as a lawyer, keep receipts of access as Head of Personnel? Well, I’ve got the guide for you right here! At the end of the guide I’ll be posting some of my premade layouts for you to use! 
PAPERWORK! The foundation of a STRONG bureaucratic station. This here guide will explain to you how paperwork… works and how to make some SNAZZY pieces of paper yourself! Give it a try, your fellow crewmates will appreciate it! …and probably do their signature wrong… 
First thing’s first, I bet you’re asking some questions! Like “How do I even begin to format a paper?” “What can I even do?” “Where the fuck do I GET paper?!” Well, calm down dear reader, I’ll show you! Keep your pen close and observe closely! 
So, you need a piece of paper and a writing utensil! You can use the standard pen that’s found in your PDA by CTRL + CLICKing your PDA and using that on a piece of paper in front of you or in your opposite hand, or go find a crayon, or even a fountain pen! All these different writing tools will appear differently on the paper. You can even read the mime’s writing from their crayon if you highlight it with your mouse! (Not shown below)
Usually I like to start off most of my papers with a large header! It catches the reader’s attention, and it let’s them know what it’s about. You can do this by putting a “#” and a space afterword in the beginning of the line. one # will be the largest, and 6 #'s will make it the smallest! 
While editing
Post-editing
“But I want it to be in the center of the paper! It has to be lined up!” Yes, yes dear reader! I understand, and I will show you how! You can center any line of text by doing this trick here:
If you put 
at the beginning and 
at the end of any line of text (following some other mark-up symbols such as # for headers) you’ll center anything like so:
While editing
Post-editing
Some other things you might want to consider for your paper are things like italics and BOLD or even BOTH, maybe you want to have a strikethrough or something!
While editing
You can put *, ~, or ` at the beginning and end of any word, or entire sentence to really give some emphasis on something you want! You can even combine all of them if you’d like!
Post-editing
Put them together even for an interesting header!
While editing
Post-editing
Alright, well now that you’ve gone through the basic training of being a bureaucratic RAT… I think you’re ready for the more advanced stuff at-hand! 
You can add some fancy horizontal lines across your paper to really break the title, header, or sections apart and give it a little more structure! You can do so by putting three dashes, like —, on it’s own line by itself like this:
Before editing
After editing
For the people who really like to make lists or make a point to give people tasks or mention a few things, you might enjoy this next section! Bulleted and numerical lists, along with to-do lists! You can make a bulleted list by starting of a line with - and make a subsection by putting two spaces and a - in the next line, the same is true for numerical lists, like so:
While editing
Post-editing
Some of you might want to have a form or piece of paper for people to fill out information on, like a questionnaire, a legal document, something even like an access request form! Well, this is going to be your dream! You can make spaces for people to fill by typing [_] That’s square brackets with underscores in the middle. You can make the blank space bigger by putting more underscores! Just like this:
While editing
Post-editing
The yellow highlighted spaces are places where players can click and type to fill in whatever they want! It’ll match the text of the pen they are using to fill it in with, so make sure they have one. You can even tell them to figure out how to do their DAMN signature by just typing %s anywhere, or writing it, like this:
While previewing
Then save it…!
After saving and previewing
And voila! The special thing about signatures is that nobody can copy yours or anybody else’s! It’s unique to each person, the font used signifies that it’s a proper signature and authenticates that you’re the person who wrote it down! Chameleon be gone!
Finally, just for fun you can even make little to-do lists just for aesthetical reasons since you can’t really X out each tab, but maybe you want to have one to look at just for fun? Hell, you can make your own using those aforementioned empty spaces and making a bulleted list anyway! But if you’re curious on how to do a to-do list, behold:
While editing
Post-editing
(Note you CANNOT edit to-do lists, but you can make blank spaces with [_] and a bulleted list with - as a substitute to make a real one!)
And that my dear reader just about does it! That’s everything you need to know about writing on paper. I hope that this guide has taught you a thing or two, and if anything, you know how to do your FUCKING SIGNATURE at least! You can combine many of these techniques together and make a ROBUST forum to use at your disposal! Use it for books, throw that piece of paper in the copier and make copies, use it on a clipboard to give it a tile and name, throw it in the folder or filing cabinet, whatever your heart’s content!
