WORD PROCESSED DOCUMENTS
PRESENTATION:

• Font: Arial Size:  12 for body text, larger for titles and headings.
• Leave 1 space after a comma, 2 spaces after a full stop.
• Put an extra line space between paragraphs.
• Do not use full-stops after titles and headings.
• Use basic formatting (e.g. bold, italics, underline, font size) for emphasis but do not overdo it.
• Body text should be left aligned or fully justified.
• Long quotations should be fully justified and indented left and right.
• Dense text (e.g. in essay form) can be 1½ or double line spaced.
• Always number the pages of your document.
• Include a header and/or footer containing your name and unit title.
• Display the word count at the end of the document (bibliography should not be included in the word count).
• Add bibliographic footnotes and endnotes if appropriate.

ESSAY TIPS

• Essay length: make sure you keep within 2000 words as requested. Use word count to identify the number of words used at the end of your essay.
• Make sure you cover each assessment criteria.
• Avoid contractions in your work, e.g. write: “do not” not “don’t”.
• Be careful of homophones, e.g. “personal” and “personnel”.
• Be careful of “its” and “it’s”.   “Its” = possessive pronoun; “it’s” = it is.
• Use the thesaurus in Microsoft Word if word processing.
• Don’t use phone text spelling, e.g. don’t write “c”, write “see”.
• Always include a bibliography with your essay.

GOOD PRACTICE

• Save your work every few minutes – do not wait until the end of the session.
• Use the spellcheck facility and always proof read your work carefully – consistency and accuracy are essential features of any word processed document.
• Make a habit of checking your work in Print Preview before you print – it saves paper.
• Keep copies of important documents – your work can always be recovered if something goes wrong with the computer – using a memory stick is essential.
