Document formatting for students

Is formatting necessary?

As a serious student, you spend many long hours researching, writing, rethinking, and rewriting your work to convey your understanding of the subject and to achieve great results. Perhaps you even employed the services of a proofreader to ensure that your content is perfect.

Then, there is only one step to complete before rushing to submit your thesis, dissertation, essay, or research paper: tending to the formatting.

A document’s technical aspects, or presentation, are just as important as the content itself. A neatly formatted document eliminates clutter and distraction, making it easier for your assessor to focus on your thoughts and ideas captured in the content.

Documents prepared in Microsoft Word are ideal and can be formatted with ease. One secret to a document that looks outstanding is to keep it simple. Academic institutions prescribe specific styles and provide guidelines for what they expect your work to look like; however, it can be overwhelming for students who aren’t experienced with the software.
