Notice versus instruction
Do not choose a notice simply because the document is short. The directive type should follow the current governing directive-management rules and the intended duration of the policy or action.
Use a real directive workflow
Long-form directives should use native Word structure so numbering, page breaks, headers, footers, and future edits remain stable.
