31. The first impression and view of a document is very
important for the reader. The options listed underneath
are the most important ones. These can make the
document nice looking, but also very bad. A
professional document should have a standard font
(like Times New Roman or Arial), appropriate size
(normal text size 12), and black color.
The layout of the text should make the reader
comfortable – it should be easy to read. In thesis, or
other large documents, the text is often aligned to both
the left and right margins. This creates a clean look at
both sides of the text. Additional extra space are put in
between words as necessary.
