Formatting Tips

| Tip | How to apply | |-----|---------------| | Consistent headings | Use built‑in heading styles (H1, H2…) – helps generate TOC & keeps hierarchy clear. | | Visuals | Every 2–3 pages, insert a chart/graph/infographic. Keep them labelled (Figure 1, Table 2) and referenced in the text. | | Bullet‑point brevity | Use bullets for lists of recommendations, risks, or steps – easier to skim. | | Executive‑summary first, write last | Draft the body, then distil the key points into the summary; ensures alignment. | | Proofread | Run spell‑check, then read aloud; ask a colleague for a quick review. | Configure the debugger to attach to the running
