Changing text size

The first impression and view of a document is very important for the reader. The options listed underneath are the most important ones. These can make the document nice looking, but also very bad. A professional document should have a standard font (like Times New Roman or Arial), appropriate size (normal text size 12), and black color. The layout of the text should make the reader comfortable – it should be easy to read. In thesis, or other large documents, the text is often aligned to both the left and right margins. This creates a clean look at both sides of the text. Additional extra space are put in between words as necessary.
