You Will Need




  • A report stored on a computer
  • Flexible ethics

Step 1: Begin to edit



When you’re finished writing your paper, launch your word processing program’s “find and replace” function. Often this is under the “edit” menu.



Step 2: Type in periods



Type a period in the spaces for “find” and for “replace.”



Step 3: Increase the size



Highlight the period in the second, or “replace,” space. Increase its font size. For example, if it’s in a 12-point font, increase it to 14-point. You usually do this by clicking on the “format” and “font” options; sometimes you’ll have to click “more” to see these options.



Step 4: Make the switch



Click “replace all.” This will change the font of all your periods.



Don’t change your entire paper’s font size or set ridiculously wide margins—that’s too obvious!



Step 5: Watch it grow



Re-measure your paper. Depending on how long your report was to begin with, simply enlarging the periods can add anywhere from one half to two—or more!—pages.



If you have a 16-page, 12-point paper, changing the periods to 14-point will stretch the paper to 19 pages!
