Creating Effective Documents

Two tips for creating academic documents not mentioned in the resource information would be spell checker and word count. In order to have a good business document or academic paper your grammar should be perfect. Not everyone can spell perfectly, but the spell checker will point out any errors that you have made. If you are required to present your paper in a certain amount of words the word count will guarantee that you have the correct amount of words needed.

A couple guidelines that I believe would benefit you greatly on formatting a paper is, breaking block style. Breaking block style is a great way to keep the attention of the audience reading your paper. When you can keep your audience’s attention into your paper the message in your writing can be expressed and absorbed by the audience. The second guideline I think that would greatly benefit a writer is the use of adding effective headers and footers. That reason is so the reader is not confused of what portion of the information he is reading and can easily put all the information together to form his or his opinion.

In closing I think that using effective headers and footnotes is less important to formatting a business document than an academic paper due to, academic papers require that information of footnotes due to the professor knowing where the material comes from. A business document does not really require that information because as long the information is correct people are not too concerned with it.
