As promised, here are a few tips to help double the length of any essay.

Periods

All of these statistics/instructions are for Microsoft Word 2007, but they apply equally well to older versions of Word or OpenOffice.

Make periods bigger in your essays for MAC word. I recommend using size 14 so that it's not too noticeable. The simplest way to make periods bigger in a word document is to manually increase their size. This can be done in any version of Word, as well as in any alternative word processor (OpenOffice, Google Docs, e.t.c.).

  • Sarah Jacobsson Purewal/CNET You don't have to make everything bigger - you can change just the text size of title bars, menus, message boxes, palette titles, icons, and tooltips individually.
  • I’ve only got three ideas here. The first one was already mentioned — increase the font size just for the periods. The second is to try another font. The third is to adjust the zoom level.

Replace All the Periods
Increase in size:42.9%
How to do it: Go to edit->replace and place a period (.) in both boxes. Highlight the period in the 'replace with' box, and click on 'more' in the lower-right hand corner. Then click format->font.
Under 'size,' increase the font-size significantly – I used 16 in this example.
Click OK, then hit 'replace all.'

Increase the Paragraph Spacing
Increase in size:21.6%
How to do it: Higlight everything (edit->select all), right-click->Paragraph. Set 'Line Spacing' to multiple, and set it to something between 2 and 3 (or between 1 and 2 if it’s a single-spaced essay). I set it to 2.5 for this example.

Change the Font Size
Increase in size:9.1%
How to do it: The font size is right next to the font face, at the top. After highlighting everything, increase it by up to a whole point – I set it a half-point larger (11.5) for this example.

Use a Different Font
Increase in size:9.1%
How to do it: Highlight everything, and just change the font from something other than the default, Calibri. I changed it to the old default, Times New Roman (12 pt font), for the 9.1% increase, but there are probably other similiar-looking fonts that will increase that even more.

Change the Margins
Increase in size:7.2%
How to do it: Go to Page Layout->Margins->Custom and increase the margins. They default to 1' all around – I changed it to 1.15' all around.

Change the Character Spacing
Increase in size:7.1%
How to do it: Select everything (ctrl+a), then right-click->Font->Character Spacing. Change the spacing to something small (Half a point or less). I use 0.3pt

All effects put together:
Increase in size:114.5% (over double!)
