Abstract
A multi-element aid for the design of business forms of different sizes having selectable characteristics. As disclosed, the business form design aid includes four elongated elements slidably interconnected to form an enclosed, generally rectangular area of variable size. Each element includes a border guide marking, which is aligned with the inner edge of one adjacent element, as well as one or more business form indicia spaced apart from the border guide marking along the element. The inner edge of each element also meets a border guide marking on a second adjacent element. In this way, for any interior opening size, selectable business form design indicia are spaced apart from each of the inner edges of the four elements by consistent distances.
