How is formatting can be used to improve the appearance and readability of document?
Formatting also makes information more accessible to the reader by creating and labeling sections (headings), highlighting key words or ideas (bold, italics, or lists), and making a good impression (professional look and feel, appropriate font choice for the document type).
How does formatting affect readability?
Whether paragraphs are double-spaced, single-spaced, or somewhere in-between affects how the document looks and its readability. Double-spaced paragraphs are ideal for editing on paper, and single-spaced paragraphs are better for reading. Frequently, courts require paragraphs to be double-spaced.
