MS Word | Standard Formatting Specifications

Introduction

Suppose you’re unsure of how best to format a document and haven’t been given any specific guidelines to follow. In that case, you can use this guide, which offers a useful baseline for formatting your work to an internationally recognized standard.

Our editors use this guide when formatting is requested, but the customer hasn’t supplied any requirements, particularly in the case of academic documents.

For examples of the cover, declaration, and acknowledgments pages, see the Dissertation Formatting Example (download the Word version instead of viewing it online) or in the Editor resources area.
