Lets start a Revolution in Client Reporting!
We need to make our reports more client orientated - this is my suggestion. Suggested modern format for report on lease (PDF) .
This was prepared in Pages, which is a free word processing and graphic design programme provided free on all Apple Macs, iPhones and iPads. It's much easier to use and logical than the dreaded Word (even Android or Wndows fanboys and Apple-haters can use it online by getting a free Apple ID and using it using the iCloud version online) https://www.apple.com/uk/pages/. You can download the Pages version of this here. You can download a Word version here but it will probably need reformatting as Word is not a portable document format and may look different on different PCs.
Go on, have a go, and once you have got it laid out as a Word template you can drag and drop data into it. Change the world - one report at a time!
Monzo's guide to writing in plain English!

Scroll down and read from the section headed "We use the language our audience uses, and make technical stuff as clear as we can". I particularly like the 'by monkeys' test for spotting passive sentences.
