Presentation
is everything.
Proofread,
proofread, proofread. Check the spelling; don't rely solely on spell
check! There are some words that are spelled correctly that are not the
word you meant to put in the sentence.
Check the grammar. Again, the word processor's grammar checker is
good to a point, but use your best Business Communications skills.
Make
sure your document is pleasing to the eye, especially if it will be
printed. Check margins, headers, footers, page numbers, and other details.
Use
the word processing software as your helper.
For each assignment, no matter how small, create a word processing document,
name and save it on a disk or on the hard drive so you can easily get back to it
later, and write a complete paper. Don't turn in any assignments that were
written in the body of an email message. Email software programs don't
give you the formatting and style functions of a word processing program.
Include
all parts of a paper. Be sure to give the paper
a title, add your name, and any designation that will quickly identify which
assignment you are completing. If your paper is more than one page, use
the header and footer feature of the word processing software so there will be a
title, your name, and page number on each page of your paper.
