Or you could write a bit more in the paper in the first place.

Cool idea, I'd never do this on a major paper probably just quick assignments.

So it's going to make my 800 word essay into a 1000 word essay?! Awesome! :P

With the right programs, you can just adjust kerning and leading. Tweaking it just a bit would make a large difference with a long essay. Just some helpful advice. :)

His trick is good too, only if the essay criteria goes by page and not by word count.

this is what i did to change a 2.3 to a 3 page paper.

move side margins in a quarter inch. spacing is 2.3. then increase the character spacing by going into format font and clicking on the character spacing tab. this one should help some too.

Great find. However anyone wants to take it - it's just another tool in finishing up a paper. You still have to write the paper, but this sure helps to reduce stress when you are required to turn in a paper w/ a page number req.

if you're confident about the content enough and you just need to fill up that 1/2 page it's handy. Otherwise yea, I'd just write more.

this is genius! however, im afraid that my professor might notice how short it is compared to someone elses when he reads them. I mean, its gonna take him about 5 minutes to read my essay, and probably about 8-10 minutes for the person who actually wrote the full amount of pgs. I dunno but im going to take the risk, that way I know whether or not i could do it in the future.

if the teacher counts words, just write Blah blah blah as many times as you can on the very last page, then color them all white.

My teacher measures the margins to make sure it was formatted correctly. So even if it was about quantity this would just get me screwed over.

dont they usually go for how many words there are nowadays, so it doesnt really matter how many pages it is. they'll just go word count(my papers are submitted in a disk) guess it just helps the people whos teachers are lazy to count and just look at how many pgs there are.

For all the people out there who say this is useless, it's used for when you've said all you've wanted to say in ur essay and it's perfect but it's only 7 1/2 pages when the uni wanted 8 and anything you add to it could potentially stuff up the whole thing. That's when you use this trick.

........my god people when you where in school when did you site there and go hummmm only a .5/h a page more oh boy I cant wh8 to write it

in high school it is never about what is writing most of the teachers have there heads so fare up there ass with other work they scan and make sure it was the right size.

so yeah saving you a little time on something you did not wish to write and something that in the end will probably not be fully looked over ? I say go for it !!

..........little tip thou a poor paper of the write size vs hafe a page short but well put together .... the later one will always win don't stress to much about size but instead make sure to put what you think they will want to see down.

and by the way putting BLAH BLAH....... on the last page in white to pade the word count is fucking brillint!!

yet you still have the same amount of words and it takes the same time to read.....why not put one word one piece of paper, that'd make it the size of a book.

I'm going to do this on all my papers regardless of length. A 5 1/2 page paper looks better than 5 pages with the same content.

For those who say this doesn't work, you may very well be wrong. Every college paper I have written has page number guidelines, not word count.

Obviously, content is important. The problem is that even if your content is excellent, being a half-page short can cost you a letter grade. That is where this technique can be very handy.

I like how all these people are leaving comments as if they've never tried to make a paper longer by either adding bullshit, changing margins, etc. Yeah, some teachers care about content and not page numbers. Some are lame, though, and will mark you down simply if your paper is a half a page short, even it has great content. If this video doesn't apply to your teachers, fucking ignore it.

only useful for high school because in University its not the pages that matter but the words (i.e a 900 word paper) and they don't normally check the length anyway, it's all about content.

"I love it how students rather try everything from 'lengthening your paper' to 'manipulating the teacher' instead of doing your best and handing over a good paper."

high school has nothing to do with doing your best. why bother doing your best when grades of 50 will get curved up to an 80?

Geez, by doing this you're only adding 2pt of spacing before your lines. Why complicate your life with those periods? Just do some line spacing modifications in Paragraph...

I totally have to say this is an effective way to trick your teacher but not exactly advantageous to you. Although some teachers prefer quantity over quality (not mine). I have to personally deem this somewhat useful in times where the teacher actually prefers to see the 5 pages instead of 4 1/2 and grade you down for it. It really depends on the teacher and should probably be used in desperate times and rough drafts which allows you to actually finish what you could not then and extend it the correct way.
