Before You Begin

To help speed the process of creating large documents, we strongly suggest that you take the time to carefully plan and organize it in advance. What size and font do you want your headings and text to be? Do you want headings to be numbered? How do you want your headings aligned? Do you want each chapter to start on a new page? Will the first line of each paragraph be indented? Do you have footnotes? How do you want tables to look? Will page numbering be sequential throughout the document? Will your document have an index or appendices?This is just a sampling of the questions you must answer before you begin creating your document. Taking the time to plan ahead can prevent problems from arising, saving you a lot of time and frustration in the long run.
