How can I format a document easily to look like a contract?

1. Use 10-pt TNR for the old-fashioned Word look or 12-pt Courier New for a
more traditional typed look.
2. Number a lot of the paragraphs using the default tabs throughout. That
is, don't even think of setting any custom tabs to make it prettier, much
less taking advantage of a first-line indent or automatic outline numbering.
Instead press tab to indent, type a number, then press tab again to get to
the next default tab stop, then continue typing, letting the paragraph wrap
to the left margin. For subparagraphs, indent the a, b, c numbering another
tab stop, but don't indent the whole paragraph.
3. Type a lot of words in All Caps (words such as LESSOR, LESSEE, CONTRACT,
etc.).
4. Make sure that all the sentences have many subordinate clauses and drivel
on to the point that anyone reading them will start to doze off before
figuring out he's being screwed.

Don't forget that the most important paragraphs must be either solid
ALL CAPS for about half a page or set in 5 pt type, or both. (I've
occasionally had to scan/OCR a contract and reformat it just to be
able to see it.)

And of course if you want to emulate the MVP KB look, you could use ALL CAPS
and *bold*.
