The most common formatting mistakes
The following shows the most commonly made formatting mistakes, which you can avoid using our final format revision.
Checking the margins
Formatting the page margins is an essential step before printing your academic paper. Margins can be adjusted and viewed digitally at any time but not in print. This means that not all margins can be printed in their original format and not all margin formats are compatible with all configurations that can be selected at BachelorPrint.
It is strongly advised that you check the margin format of your paper using our final format revision to make sure the margins align with the print specifications. The format of your entyre paper may be affected if the margins do not align with the print specifications.
Depiction of figures and tables
The format of figures and tables often causes issues with printing. Therefore, it is vital you check the format with the final format revision to ensure the figures and tables align with the print specifications.
- Check if the text above and below the depiction has a clean text wrap.
- Additionally, check the depiction of the figure or table itself to ensure it is printed correctly.
- Finally, check the labels of the figures and tables to make sure they are depicted correctly.
Depiction of paragraphs and text wraps
Via the final format revision, check if the paragraphs and text wraps in your print version align with the digital version. By this, you can determine whether the format of your paper must be adjusted for printing or not.
- Make sure that the sections are separated neatly and the chapter paragraphs are distinctly illustrated.
- In addition, you should check the spacing between chapters and between headings and text and adjust them if need be.
- Lastly, check the footer to ensure the page has a clean-cut ending.
Formatting the page numbers
Checking the page numbers entails comparing the page numbers in the table of contents with the page numbers in your paper to avoid an incorrect allocation. If your text has to be formatted differently for the print version, the page numbers of the chapters may change in the process. Thus, the page numbers should be checked again.
On the other hand, you must ensure that the format of your page numbers coincide with the configurations of your printed binding. Especially when aiming for a double-sided print, it is essential you pay attention to the format, as not all formats are suitable for double-sided printing.
