Applicable to all Types of Documents
- Insert a Header and Footer
- Date is optional, but pagination ( X of Y format) is a good idea
- Name each file is such a way that it is unique and reveals the contents, also consider adding the date of creation or Draft /Version Number for tracking purposes
- Headers of columns should be in bold text
- Add column headers on each page if tables run into more than one page
Remember, the manner of presentation of data in any document is indicative to the reader /audience of how you function technically. So a poor document could negate excellent scientific work, based on the first impression. Then don’t you think it is well worth the effort you put in to format and present a good document?
