Microsoft Word is the most used word processing software. However, in my experience, the majority of Word users don’t know how to properly use the software. The documents are a mess when it comes to formatting. As an example, smashing the space bar is NOT the right way to indent a paragraph. Not to worry. How-To Geek has a post with eight tips for creating professional looking documents.
- Choose the Right Font for the Job
- Adjust the Margins Appropriately
- Choose the Right Line and Paragraph Spacing
- Adjust Your Indents
- Format Using Columns When They Fit
- Add Headings to Identify Sections
- Position Images Between Text and Paragraphs
- Use Alignment Tools for Images and Objects
There are some great tips here complete with instructions and screenshots. I would add one more to the list – use a table to align data. This is different than formatting with columns.
