The commonly suggested formatting is 1.5 line spacing,  size 12 font, Times New Roman or Arial style font. No need to move margins on a Word document.  It will need a cover page with details of: Your student ID, number of the unit (10205), the assessment name, name of your chosen pamphlet, a link to the  pamphlet, and the actual word count of your submission (not the expected word count but your actual word count).  Each page should have page numbers and your student ID in the footer. The reference list should be on a new page at the end of the document (and it does not count in word count) and be formatted as per APA 7th Edition style guide which you can find on the library website. (Citations within the text are included in the word count).
