Miscellaneous Tips

  • Use the template provided, with built-in styles
  • Be cautious copying and pasting text in Word, even from one Word document to another
  • Watch your white space: What you see as empty Word may see as information
    • To start a new page, use the Insert>Blank Page option (or CTRL+ENTER on the keyboard) rather than simply hitting Enter until you reach the page you want
  • Remember to save constantly as you work, and to save copies of the updated file(s) to all of your backup locations after each time of working on your document
  • Don't worry about page numbers until you are mostly finished writing
  • You can use PDF-XChange Editor, found in the Office Applications folder in CloudPC, to combine multiple PDF files into one PDF document (see "Using PDF-XChange Editor", above)
  • If you feel more comfortable hiring someone to do the formatting for you, consider hiring a professional editor. A Google search for "professional editor" and your location should yield a few options.
