Is this a book or magazine, a handout, brochure, poster? Find a good example in the real world and work from there for margins.
Use the Story palette to set nice optical margin alignment for type. Bullet points suck, so minimize when possible and I recommend a custom bullet, and about 50% extra leading between them.
Call-outs can be done a million different ways. Keep it simple with a different weight/color/size, or a contrasting/complementing typeface. Try out a paragraph rule for them (above and/or below). I've seen fun things when body copy wraps around them.
Oh, the most important thing if it's a template. Use Paragraph Styles.
- variation/s on a couple of master pages is also a good idea so that the end user doesn't get *too creative* if the original layout isn't enough for their needssausages
- +1 sausages. And don't forget to set up table styles and graphic styles for objects.MrT
