Review the quote before saving

Before choosing a final file, compare the Classic heading with the first block of quote details. Keep quote reference readable without enlarging the whole page. Then follow the document through customer details to the ending. On a printed copy, the reader has no form controls to reveal what an unclear entry was meant to say. Use A4 or Letter to match the paper you intend to use and read every page after switching. A longer quote can flow onto another page. Keep the complete text when it is needed to explain a proposed cabinet repair before any work starts; a conventional appearance is not a reason to cut information the reader needs. Save the version you checked so later changes do not become confused with it.
