Different institutions have developed their own requirements for the design of the text, but there are basic rules that are common to everyone. They are used in educational institutions when writing diploma and other works, as well as when drawing up official documents.
In official documents, it is better to use the standard font type and size (Times New Roman or Arial, size - 14).
Spaces seem unimportant, but if they are in the right places, the text looks nicer and the meaning is clearer. Do not use spaces before periods, commas, and other punctuation marks. But they are sure to be placed after them.
Use a space to separate a digit from any unit of measurement, be it ton, centimeter, percent sign (%) or degree sign.
A dash and a hyphen are often confused. So, a hyphen (short sign, minus) is placed between two numbers (for example, 2-3), as well as when separating parts of a word (because of, any). Spaces between a sign and a hyphen are never used.
A dash (long) is placed between words in a sentence, for example, before or instead of the word "this". A dash is separated from words by spaces.
There are common word abbreviations such as cm, km, kg, etc. Dots after them do not need to be put, of course, if this is not the end of the sentence.
The margins on the left side of any documents should be larger than the rest, because it is on the left that documents are filed into a folder.
Red line indentation and hyphenation are not always required, but with them the text will look more beautiful and neat, it is easier to navigate in it.
It is better to set headings in bold or capital letters, this will also make the document attractive.
