Here are some tips to create professional-looking word documents. 

•  Mange page Margins -  Most documents should have 1 inch margins. (There are some exceptions: Posters, index cards, etc.)
• Format the text - Formatted text is more appealing to the eye. If you want a cretin word to stand out from the others, use boldface text, If you are adding titles of articles, stories, or movies, use italic writing. 
• Insert headers and footers - Headers and Footers make your documents look very professional. Ideal headers should contain the publisher’s name, the date, and the documents name. Footers should contain page numbers, especially in larger documents with many pages. 
• Make your text colorful — but not colorful or it will look like a drunk monkey made it. 
• Insert diagrams, charts, and tables 
• Insert columns 
• When creating….. take your time.
