All papers presented for filing shall be on white opaque paper of good quality with numbered lines, 8 ½” by 11″ in size, and shall be flat, unfolded (except where necessary for the presentation of exhibits), without back or cover, and shall comply with all other applicable provisions of these rules. A transition period concerning the size requirement of papers shall be in effect until April 1, 1982. All papers shall be typewritten, or printed, or be prepared by a photocopying or other duplication process that will produce clear and permanent copies equally legible to printing, in type not smaller than pica size. No script or italic typewritten material is acceptable. Only one side of the paper shall be used, and all papers except for the identification of counsel, title of the case, footnotes, and quotations, shall be double spaced and numbered at the bottom. All papers shall consist entirely of original pages without riders, and shall be firmly bound together at the top. Exhibits may be fastened to pages of the specified size and, when prepared by a machine copying process, shall be equal to typewritten material in legibility and permanency of image.
