Ok, now I was able to download it. :-)

In order to make it aesthetically pleasing and more readable I propose to use only the inner 60% (or 61.8%) of the page for one text column and have a wide margin space at the outer edge. This margin space can be used for keywords, subtitles, etc. Screenshots would also extend into the margin space. If your titles have a larger fontsize than the body text, do not check "adjust to baseline" but set appropiate space before / space after values instead. (Eg. bodytext lineheight 12pt, title fontsize 14pt, title lineheight 14pt, then calculate spaces such that a one-line title occupies the same space as 3 lines of bodytext: 3*12 = 36 = 14 + 14 + 8, so space before = 14pt, space after = 8pt) Or, if you want to adjust your titles to baseline, set both space before and space after to 12 pt. That way there will be 2 empty line before and 1 empty line after these titles (and a 24pt linespacing if you have more than one line for the title).
