1. Introduction to Business Communication

Business communication is information sharing between people within and

outside an organization that is performed for the commercial benefit of the

organization. It can also be defined as relaying of information within a business by

its people.

Importance of Effective Communication in an Organisation.

Ans: Effective communication is a basic requirement for the achievement of

organisational goals. No organisation, no group can exist without communication.

Co-ordination: Without communication Co-ordination of work is impossible and

the organisation will collapse for lack of communication. Co-operation also becomes

impossible because people cannot communicate their needs and feelings to others.

Social needs: Language is one of the basic tools of building relationship with

others. It may be regional language or globally accepted English language in the

professional field. There are some ethics or codes which are to be followed to

maintain relationship.

Motivation: When communication is effective, it tends to encourage better

performance and job satisfaction. People understand their jobs better and feel more

involved in them.Therefore, a successful executive must know the art of

communication.

Better Management: Since management has been described as getting works done

by people, it is necessary to communicate what the management wishes to

accomplish by the various tasks which the organisation has undertaken.

Information Exchange: The popular saying ‘knowledge is power’ should be

modified to ‘applied knowledge is power.’ And to apply, it requires effective

communication. Good communication presupposes a two-way flow of information

from the top down and from the bottom up. It can be compared to a mighty river on

the banks of which business life is built.

Problem Solving: Communication plays a major role in dealing with employer

employee relation problems, employee productivity, in short, with all human

relations matters. Bad communication is often the root cause of many problems.

Secrecy breeds rumours and a hush-hush attitude breeds harmful rumours.

Elements Of Communication

Sender – A person who intends to convey/ transfer ideas, thoughts, information,

feelings to another person or persons.

Encoding – It is a process of converting ortransforming ideas or thoughts in the

form of a message understandable to the receiver.

Message – Message is sender’s ideas, thoughts or feelings that he/she intends to

convey to the receiver to achieve desired result.

Channel – The channel is the carrier of the message. The channel may be in oral

form, verbal form or non verbal form.

Decoding – Convertingthe message and interpreting the same by the receiver is

called decoding. It is expected that desired meaning is given by the receiver.

Receiver – The person who receives the message is the receiver.

Feedback – It is the response by the receiver to the sender. Positive or expected

feedback indicates to the sender the confirmation of the correctness of the

message sent. If a distorted message is received by the receiver the sender may need

to modify theencoding system or change the channelof communication. Feedback

completes the communication cycle.

Types of Communication

Professional organisations need different types of communication for their growth.

Following chart shows a broad classification. Following are the types of

Communication.

VERBAL COMMUNICATION:

Any form of communication where words are used to convey a message is known as

Verbal communication. It has two forms namely oral and written. When we

communicate with the help of spoken words and phrases it is known as oral

communication.

Examples: conversations in meetings, conferences, discussions, interviews, or on

telephone are all forms of oral communications.

Verbal Communication is divided into two types Oral and Written Communication.

• Oral communication: Oral communication refers to

speaking with the help of words. In this communication

words are used orally. Most of us spend more time in

speaking and listening than in writing and reading. Proper

pronunciation and tone is the key to effective oral

communication.

• Written Communication: Message when conveyed with the

help of written words is written communication. Effective

written communication requires command over the

language, correct construction of sentences, appropriate use

of words, logical sequence of points, legible handwriting, or

well formatted typing and proper presentation.

NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION:

When communication between two or more persons takes

place without making use of words either written or oral is

called non-verbal communication. Non-verbal communication

is normally expressed through body language. This is usually

associated with oral communication. In body language we

mainly deal with Facial Expressions, Eye-Contact, Gesture,

Posture, Voice etc.

• Facial Expressions: Facial expression is integral when expressing emotions through

the body. Combinations of eyes, eyebrow, lips, nose, and cheek movements help

form different moods of an individual (e.g. happy, sad, depressed, angry, etc.)

• Eye contact: Eyes are the windows to the soul. Maintaining an eye contact with

your speaker and listener is the most important part of non-verbal

communication . Looking into a person's eye is the best way to understand

Page 6: Marathwada Mitra Mandal’s Polytechnicsparklanguage.weebly.com/uploads/3/1/2/9/31290621/... · Marathwada Mitra Mandal’s Polytechnic – Dr. S. H. Patil 4 Elements Of Communication

Business Communication Using Computer MSBTE – Second Semester

Marathwada Mitra Mandal’s Polytechnic – Dr. S. H. Patil 6

his/her attitude to all that you speak. If you avoid eye contact you indicate the

signs of fear, doubt, confusion, shyness, nervousness etc.

• Gestures: Gestures are movements made with body parts (e.g. hands, arms,

fingers, head, legs) and they may be voluntary or involuntary.[5] Arm gestures

can be interpreted in several ways. In a discussion, when one stands or sits with

folded arms, this is normally not a welcoming gesture

• Posture: Posture refers to the way we stand, sit and carry ourselves. It tells how

bold, confident, submissive or timid a person is. A person who stands, sits and

walks upright commands respect and attention.

FORMAL COMMUNICATION:

The communication in which certain norms, rules and

regulations are followed is known as a Formal

Communication. Formal communication may follow any

direction-Vertical, Horizontal, and Diagonal. It is always well

planned. In Formal communication the sender and receiver

follow certain rules and regulations. The speaker has to take care of the choice of

words and body language. It is restricted to certain limit of time, hence it is time

bound.

Example: Communication at official places like College, Hospital, Company etc.

INFORMAL COMMUNICATION: [GRAPEVINE

COMMUNICATION]

Any unofficial communication is informal communication. It

may be internal or external in its application for the

organisation. Informal discussions, general comments that

pass from one person to another are examples of informal

communication. Informal communication is popularly

referred to as “grapevine communication”. Gossips, hearsay,

rumour, informal chat amongst peers, colleagues, friends and groups are the

examples of informal or grapevine communication.

VERTICAL COMMUNICATION:

In an organisational setup, vertical communication is between employees and

employers. Communication between the people working on the upper and lower

levels in the organisation is called vertical communication. It has two types:-

Upward and Downward.

Business Communication Using Computer MSBTE – Second Semester

Marathwada Mitra Mandal’s Polytechnic – Dr. S. H. Patil 7

HORIZONTAL COMMUNICATION:

When persons working at the same levels communicate with each-other in the

organisation it is called horizontal communication. So, when a worker

communicates with another worker or a manager communicates with other

departmental manager, these are the examples of horizontal communication.

Principles of Communication

• Clarity in encoding the message: The sender should be aware of the purpose of

communication. He should accordingly select proper words and encode a clear

message. Clarity means it should not arise any confusion or question in the mind

of the receiver. There should not be any ambiguity.

• Clarity in stating the purpose: The message should state the purpose. It should

be direct in its intention. It should state the line of action clearly.

• Correctness of the message: The message should be correct. It should not have

any incorrect information or misguiding details.

• Conciseness of the message: The key to effective communication is its

conciseness and its brevity. The sentences should always be short in length. This

ensures understanding. Lengthy messages lead to confusion.

• Completeness of the message: The message should be complete i.e. it should

answer all the possible questions of the receiver. It should cover all areas of

consideration and still maintain its focus. A complete message helps quick and

efficient functioning.

• Coherence of the message: The message should have a logical sequence and

flow. It should progress in such a way that the receiver gets a clear picture and is

able to respond accordingly.

• Courteous language: Language in all types of communication should always be

courteous. The goodwill that courtesy generates helps in building long term

relations.

• Selection of proper channel: Selection of channel depends on the urgency of the

message; the capacity of the receiver and availability of resources to send the

message. Proper channel ensures proper transmission. Quick and smooth

transmission also maintains the intention or purpose of communication. It leads

to generation of an expected feedback.

Business Communication Using Computer MSBTE – Second Semester

Marathwada Mitra Mandal’s Polytechnic – Dr. S. H. Patil 8

• Knowledge about the receiver: It is essential that the sender is aware of who the

receiver is. This knowledge helps him in selecting the right words and proper

channel. Receiver’s age, experience, interest, knowledge, efficiency and

intelligence play a key role in communication.

• Taking care of probable barriers efficiently: Sender and receiver are both

responsible to make the communication smooth. They should anticipate probable

barriers and plan accordingly. They should meet with all kinds of problems or

barriers effectively to ensure successful communication.

• Defining a clear line of action and feedback: Sender should ensure that the

message receives an expected feedback. Feedback needs to be positive and

prompt therefore the sender should take care that he defines the timeline

accordingly.

Barriers to Communication

There are many reasons why interpersonal communications may fail. In many

communications, the message may not be received exactly the way the sender

intended. The problems because of which communication fails are known as

Barriers to communication.

PHYSICAL BARRIER:

All the obstacles existing in the surroundings of the various elements of the

communication process and also those existing in the sender and receiver are called

physical barriers. The three main elements of physical barrier are Noise, Time and

Distance.

MECHANICAL BARRIERS:

A barrier caused by faulty machines or out of work technical instruments or any

technical problem. Defects in the devices used for communication are purely

external; and usually not within the control of the parties engaged in

communication. The telephone, the postal system, the loud speaker and the

internet connection, the LAN system in an office, satellite disturbances, hardware

problems in networking etc. are the example of Mechanical Barrier.

PSYCHOLOGICAL BARRIERS:

Psychological or mental barriers are the barriers which we create in our minds, or which we have learned from others, that prevent us from communicating or

behaving effectively and rationally.

Business Communication Using Computer MSBTE – Second Semester

Marathwada Mitra Mandal’s Polytechnic – Dr. S. H. Patil 9

Day dreaming

In a communication situation, when the sender is delivering the message, the

receiver sometimes loses concentration and becomes inattentive. This may be due

to some other thought in the receiver’s mind. When the receiver shifts his/her

focus from the content of the message to other thoughts, it is called day

dreaming. Here, day dreaming acts as a barrier in communication.

Prejudice

Many a times we pre-judge people even before knowing them and form an opinion

about them, we start behaving with them according to the pre-conceived notions

about them. This predetermined judgment about them is nothing but prejudice,

which acts as barrier to communication.

Emotions

Simple emotions like joy, sorrow, fear, excitement, tension and anxiety act as

barriers to communication. When a person suffers from any kind of emotional

turmoil he/she is unable to receive any new ideas, knowledge or perform any task

well.

Blocked Mind

It indicates having fixed opinions and beliefs about people, places and events.

These fixed opinions are nothing but mental blocks which hinder the free flow of

communication.

Generation Gap

It is observed that there is difference in the way of thinking between the persons

of different age groups. The difference of age (normally 18 to 20 years), causes

differences in thinking is called generation gap. The following examples are the

communication between parents and children or between grandparents and

grandchildren. This generation gap may be between teachers and students too.

Status

This barrier arises due to organizational hierarchy. It is perhaps the most

important barrier to business communication.

Perception

Perception is understanding of the world around us. Each one perceives the world

in his own unique way and interprets what has been perceived in his unique way.

Perception is a subjective process. When our senses deliver the information to the

reception centers of the cortex, they are associated with past memories, feelings,

thoughts, values, needs, drives, attitudes and other things going on in the brain

Page 10: Marathwada Mitra Mandal’s Polytechnicsparklanguage.weebly.com/uploads/3/1/2/9/31290621/... · Marathwada Mitra Mandal’s Polytechnic – Dr. S. H. Patil 4 Elements Of Communication

that are totally unique. The result is a highly individualized way of looking at

things. When we strongly disagree, we simply say “I am sorry; our perceptions

appear to be different” Such perceptions many a times act as barriers to

communication.

LANGUAGE BARRIER:

A barrier which is related to language, words, phrases is known as Language

barrier.

• Difference in language

When two people who wish to communicate with each other, but do not have

sufficient knowledge of each other’s language, they cannot communicate

effectively.

• Technical Jargons

Uses of too many technical words in everyday language acts as a barrier to

communication as these words are not always understood by the receiver.

• Pronunciations

Words when mispronounced cause barrier to communication. The receivers do

not follow what the speaker says and thus lose their attention.

• Allusions

Words carrying cultural connotations may give rise to miscommunication.

2. Non-Verbal Communication

KINESICS

Kinesics is the study of the physical movements of the body in communication.

Kinesics deals with facial expressions, eye contact, Head and Hand Movements.

Facial Expressions

The human face is extremely expressive, able to express countless emotions without

saying a word. And unlike some forms of nonverbal communication, facial

expressions are universal. The facial expressions for happiness, sadness, anger,

surprise, fear, and disgust are the same across cultures.

Gestures

Gestures are woven into the fabric of our daily lives. We wave, point, beckon, and

use our hands when we’re arguing or speaking animatedly—expressing ourselves

with gestures often without thinking. However, the meaning of gestures can be very

different across cultures and regions, so it’s important to be careful to avoid

misinterpretation.

Eye contact

Since the visual sense is dominant for most people, eye contact is an especially

important type of nonverbal communication. The way you look at someone can

communicate many things, including interest, affection, hostility, or attraction. Eye

contact is also important in maintaining the flow of conversation and for gauging

the other person’s response.

Postures:

How we hold our bodies can also serve as an important part of body language. The

term posture refers the way we stand and walk or sit. It is about how we hold our

bodies as well as overall physical form. Posture can convey a wealth of information

about how a person is feeling as well as hints about personality characteristics,

such as whether a person is confident, open, or submissive.

VOCALICS

Vocalics, sometimes called para language, deals with the voice modulation and the

tone of voice used in communication. It becomes very important in communication

how we pronounce the words and use the tone.

Vocalics, also refers to the non-verbal elements of the voice, such as people's "tone

of voice" or the volume of the voice when they speak. What is important to stress

here is that very often our vocalics "out loud" what we say verbally. This is what

people mean when they say "How you say what you say is more important than

what you say."

HAPTICS

Haptic communication refers to the ways in which people and other

animals communicate and interact via the sense of touch. It's a Greek word that

means "I touch" – so it's the study of our sense of touch There are many costumes

and ways you can touch others and each carries with it some sentimental value or

purpose.

Holding Hands: From an early age, we hold the hands of parents and teachers to

lead us – it's the symbol of unity and trust. But how to hold hands, and with whom

it's acceptable? This can widely differ in many parts of the world.

Pat on the Back: A pat on the back shows support and friendliness.

A Slap: A hard slap shows anger and frustration. But a gentle slap shows love and

affection.

Handshake: A handshake shows friendliness. The way we shake hand it reveals our

personality and emotions.

Business Communication Using Computer MSBTE – Second Semester

Marathwada Mitra Mandal’s Polytechnic – Dr. S. H. Patil 13

A kiss: A kiss shows deep love and affection.

Example: A baby communicates through touch with its mother. A simple touch is

more powerful than thousands of words in communication

PROXEMICS

Proxemics studies the distance and space utilization in communication. It studies

how people use and perceive the space between the sender and the receiver.

Intimate Distance: Ranges from close contact (touching) to the 'far' phase of 15-

45cm. Only closely related people and family members are allowed in this zone.

Personal Distance: At this distance it is easy to see the other person's

expressions and eye movements, as well as their overall body language.

Handshaking can occur within the bounds of personal distance.

Social Distance: This is the normal distance for impersonal business, for example

working together. At a social distance, speech needs to be louder and eye contact

remains essential to communication, otherwise feedback will be reduced and the

interaction may end.

Public Distance: Teachers and public speakers address groups at a public

distance. At such distances exaggerated non-verbal communication is necessary

for communication to be effective. Since subtle facial expressions are lost at this

distance so clear hand gestures are often used as a substitute.

CHRONEMICS

Chronemics is the study of the use of time in non-verbal communication. It is

about the proper use of time in communication. Punctuality of any person shows

his promptness and reliability. He gets more respect than a person who always

comes late. Punctuality conveys about thinking and attitude. Hence time

utilization is important in nonverbal communication.

One can misuse time like not completing the project on time, not studying

regularly or delay in submission of assignment.

ARTEFACTS

Artefacts are the objects to convey non-verbal messages about self-personality,

mood and feelings. The use of electronic or non-electronic objects like perfumes,

Page 14: Marathwada Mitra Mandal’s Polytechnicsparklanguage.weebly.com/uploads/3/1/2/9/31290621/... · Marathwada Mitra Mandal’s Polytechnic – Dr. S. H. Patil 4 Elements Of Communication

mobiles, lipstick glasses etc talks about our personality and social status. This

plays an important role in communication. In some situations clothes we wear at

the beach and at the interview shows our attitude. Other people judge us by our

cloths and the things we use.

Positive & Negative Body Language

Positive body language includes:

- Maintaining eye contact with the person to whom you are speaking.

- Smiling (if appropriate) but especially as a greeting and when parting.

- Sitting squarely on a chair, leaning slightly forward (this indicates you are

paying attention).

- Nodding in agreement.

- A firm handshake.

- Presenting a calm exterior.

- Looking interested.

Negative body language includes:

- Not looking at a person when speaking.

- Tapping a foot, fingers etc.

- Rocking backwards and forwards.

- Scratching.

- Continually clearing your throat.

- Fiddling with hair, ear lobes, jewellery, jacket, glasses, etc.

- Picking at fingers or finger nails.

- Yawning.

- Repeatedly looking at your watch or a clock in the room.

- Standing too close to others.

Inattention to a person who is speaking.

3. Presentation Skills

Public speaking and presentation skills are some of the most

valued skills in business today.

At all levels of an organization, but especially at the highest

levels, professionals are called upon on a regular basis to give a

presentation – a report, a proposal, or a sales pitch. And often they don’t feel up to

the task.

Tips for Presentation Skills

1. Collect the Data

We should do some research and collect data for the presentation. The references will help to authenticate the presentation.

2. Use visual aids

Prepare an effective PPT for the presentation. Using pictures in your presentations

instead of words can double the chances of meeting your objectives.

3. Keep it simple.

Try to keep your presentation straightforward and to the point. Fancy talks, loads of facts and figures and complicated sentences can overwhelm both you and your audience. They will feel disconnected. If you keep it simple, your audience is more

apt to grasp the message you are trying to transmit.

4. Use the rule of three

A simple technique is that people tend to only remember three things. Work out what the three messages that you want your audience to take away and structure

your presentation around them. Use a maximum of three points on a slide.

5. Rehearse

Practice makes for perfect performance. Many experts say that rehearsal is the biggest single thing that you can do to improve your performance. Perform your presentation out loud at least four times. One of these should be in front of a real

scary audience. Family, friends or colleagues. Even the dog is better than nothing.

6. Develop Confidence Speaking

Even experienced speakers get nervous. Instead of trying to eliminate your jitters,

turn them into energy you can use to boost your delivery.

Business Communication Using Computer MSBTE – Second Semester

Marathwada Mitra Mandal’s Polytechnic – Dr. S. H. Patil 16

7. Know your audience.

Always know your audience before the presentation. The presentation should appeal to the audience. Based on the age, education and other background you

should prepare for the presentation.

8. Know what slide is coming next

You should always know when presenting which slide is coming up next. It sounds very powerful when you say “On the next slide [Click] you will see…”, rather than a

period of confusion when the next slide appears.

9. Have a back-up plan

Have a back-up plan. Take with you the following items – a printed out set of slides – (you can hold these up to the audience if you need to), a CD or data stick of your presentation, a laptop with your slides on it. Just in case it goes wrong.

Guess what? When you have back-ups – you seldom need to use them.

10. Check out the presentation room

Arrive early and check out the presentation room. If you can make sure that you see your slides loaded onto the PC and working on the screen. Work out where you will need to stand.

11. Prepare some questions.

If you're going to have a Q&A at the end of your presentation, be prepared to get

the ball rolling by having up a question or two up your sleeve.

Subject: Staying late at the canteen

It has been found that some employees are staying late at the

RESUME :

Resume is a French word meaning "summary", and true to the word meaning,

signifies a summary of one's employment, education, and other skills, used in

applying for a new position. A resume seldom exceeds one side of an A4 sheet, and

at the most two sides. They do not list out all the education and qualifications, but

only highlight specific skills customized to target the job profile in question. A

resume is usually broken into bullets and written in the third person

to appear objective and formal. A good resume starts with a brief Summary of

Qualifications, followed by Areas of Strength or Industry Expertise in keywords,

followed by Professional Experience in reverse chronological order. Focus is on the

most recent experiences, and prior experiences summarized. The content aims at

providing the reader a balance of responsibilities and accomplishments for each

position. After Work experience come Professional Affiliations, Computer Skills, and

Education

C.V CURRICULUM VITAE :

C.V Is a Latin word meaning "course of life". Curriculum Vitae (C.V.) is therefore

a regular or particular course of study pertaining to education and life. A C.V. is

more detailed than a resume, usually 2 to 3 pages, but can run even longer as per

the requirement. A C.V. generally lists out every skills, jobs, degrees, and

professional affiliations the applicant has acquired, usually in chronological order.

A C.V. displays general talent rather than specific skills for any specific positions

BIO-DATA:

Bio Data the short form for Biographical Data, is the old-fashioned

terminology for Resume or C.V. The emphasis in a bio data is on personal

particulars like date of birth, religion, sex, race, nationality, residence, martial

status, and the like. Next comes a chronological listing of education and experience.

The things normally found in a resume, that is specific skills for the job in question

comes last, and are seldom included. Bio-data also includes applications made in

specified formats as required by the company.

3. Complaint Letter :

Tips

1. Keep in mind that most errors are unintentional

Realize that most businesses and organizations want to address and clear up complaints quickly in

order to have satisfied customers or members.

2. Address your letter to a specific person

Letters addressed to "Dear Sir" or "To Whom it May Concern" are not effective. Call ahead and ask

for the name of the manager and his or her administrative assistant. Writing to the assistant may

ensure your letter reaches the manager.

3. Begin your letter on a positive tone

Consider how you'd react if an angry customer approaches you and shouts obscenities versus

someone who smiles who begins the conversion with compliments.

4. Be brief

Keep your complaint letter to one page, and write short paragraphs rather than long ones.

5. Be honest and straightforward

Include sufficient detail to back up your claim and to show that you have thoroughly researched

the subject. However, omit irrelevant details.

6. Maintain a firm but respectful tone, and avoid aggressive, accusing language

Keep your complaint letter concise and professional.

7. Send only photocopies of receipts and other documents, and retain all originals

Keep a copy of the complaint letter for your records.

• Get other signatures

In many cases, you can increase the effectiveness of your letter by getting several others to sign it

with you. This is particularly the case when trying to influence or change legislation, denouncing

material from the media, and so forth.

• Do not threaten!

If a company has repeatedly given you bad service and refuses to correct the situation and you

feel that your only recourse is to pursue legal action. However, don't threaten legal action unless

you are willing to follow through with it.

• Use tact, and be direct, but respectful

If you need to make a complaint to or about people that you will still have contact with on a

regular basis, your complaint needs to accomplish its purpose without destroying the relationship.

• Include your contact information

Include your name, address, phone number, and e-mail address, if desired, so that the person(s)

can reach you to discuss any questions or concerns.

• If a first letter does not bring action, assume a stronger but still respectful tone in the next one.

If two or three letters do not resolve the problem, send one to the president or CEO of the

company or entity. In each case, be firm but polite.

Subject: Complaint about faulty television cabinet.

Dear Manager

I am unhappy with the quality of a television cabinet I bought at your store on

15th December and I am writing to seek a replacement.

The cabinet doors do not open and shut properly and the stain on the cabinet

is uneven, with one half darker than the other. The cabinet was delivered on 30

December and I noticed this problem as soon as I unpacked it from the box.

The cabinet is not of acceptable quality and does not match the sample

cabinet I was shown in store. I would like you to replace it with one of the same

quality and finish as the sample and arrange for return of the faulty cabinet at no

cost.

I have attached a photocopy of my receipt as proof of purchase.

I would like to have this problem fixed quickly please. If I do not hear from you

within 10 days, I will lodge a formal complaint with Consumer Affairs in my state.

Yours sincerely,

Mr. Vinit Patil

because they may not be reproduced properly. Please use

only SOLID FILL colors which contrast well both on screen

and on a black-and-white hardcopy, as shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 2 shows an example of a low-resolution image which

would not be acceptable, whereas Fig. 3 shows an example of

an image with adequate resolution. Check that the resolution

is adequate to reveal the important detail in the figure.

Please check all figures in your paper both on screen and on

a black-and-white hardcopy. When you check your paper on

a black-and-white hardcopy, please ensure that:

the colors used in each figure contrast well,

the image used in each figure is clear,

all text labels in each figure are legible.

E. Figure Captions

Figures must be numbered using Arabic numerals. Figure

captions must be in 8 pt Regular font. Captions of a single

line (e.g. Fig. 2) must be centered whereas multi-line captions

must be justified (e.g. Fig. 1). Captions with figure numbers

must be placed after their associated figures, as shown in

Fig. 1.

Fig. 2 Example of an unacceptable low-resolution image

Fig. 3 Example of an image with acceptable resolution

F. Table Captions

Tables must be numbered using uppercase Roman numerals.

Table captions must be centred and in 8 pt Regular font with
