Well, that is probably a long answer... First, make sure the margins are set to one inch. Word sometimes defaults to 1.25 inches, unless you have provided other default values for it. That option should be under File | Page Setup. For formatting the rest of it, it depends on the specifications of wherever you are submitting it for publication. Each publication has different requirements. If you are not submitting it, and it is a dissertation for a school, check with the school for requirements. If it is none of these, then you can format it as you choose. Use the Style drop-down menu (you can locate it on the toolbar because it will have a word in it that isn't the font. Usually "Normal" for regular text if you haven't added bullets or set up your own styles. Try the different heading styles for titles. if you don't like any of them, you can make your own style. It *is* better to use a style though, because then applying that same style to later text will give you exactly the same font size and other options without you having to go check and see what you did in that situation. It keeps things very consistent. Also, if you change your mind later, the style organizer can change everything set in one style to a different style all at once... takes much less time. Run spell-check, add a header and footer as needed (page numbers help the reader, and you can add them from the header and footer toolbar after selecting View | Header and Footer). Also, if you are using APA or MLA style for your manuscript, the header is where the last name or shortened title with page number go... not on the regular page. That's the general idea. If you don't know how to do something specific, ask about that feature separately.

There isn't a simple answer to that. You could format it in many ways. There are many fonts to choose from. There are various styles to choose from. You could use things like drop capitals or indentations. You could use header styles to standardize some of the way you are formatting it. It is really up to you. Each manuscript is different. So as long as you are aware of the possibilities available and how to use them, then you can format it in a way that you choose.
