MS-Word Formatting

Word formatting refers to professionally design a page with proper setting margins, setting the header and footer, proper styling the heading, paragraphs, lists and more. A Word document page can have graph/charts, pictures, tables, hyperlinks, and equations, and can be used for both print and digital platform for making projects/reports and publications or creating a manuscript for a book or journal.

What we can do with MS-Word or Pages (on Mac OS):

• Clean-up: remove multiple spaces, tabs, breaks to normalize the text.
• Page setup: orientation, the setting of margins (top, bottom, left, right), columns, header/footers, and page numbering.
• Design setup: number of parts, sections, etc.
• Using styles: create styles for headings, paragraphs, lists, quotes, references, footnotes/endnotes.
• Tables: create styles for tables to make consistent formatting throughout the document.
• Images: can be used in many ways by re-sizing, cropping, rotating or wrapping pictures with text.
• Footnote/endnotes: can style and link dynamically to its numbered in para.
• Table of content: generate and style the contents, list of figures and tables along with it the page numbers, if required.
