However, it is especially important to check with someone before e-mailing them an especially large file or a file they can't read. It is relatively simple to create a link on a web page that lets a browser download a document file. Be sure to include information on the web page about the file's size, type, and contents. Virus protection Make sure any file you send is free from viruses, especially Microsoft Word macro viruses, which are pesky and ubiquitous. Be sure to install and use virus protection software on your computer.
Margins Use one-inch margins throughout.
Headers and footers may be less than one inch from the top or bottom of the page, but the body text should be surrounded by at least an inch of white space. Use a ragged right margin for all body text. You can use either block paragraph form or indented paragraphs, but choose one form and be consistent. Block quotations can be indented one inch at the left margin. Page numbers For the body text of long documents, page numbers should appear in the lower right corner of the page, flush with the right margin and half an inch from the edge of the page.
