Basic Prompting Tip You Can Try Today
How to Use AI to Write a Great Document
Ever notice how much control you have when working inside Microsoft Word?
You click tabs and buttons to shape your document exactly how you want it:
Font size
Line spacing
Font style
Bold / Italics / Underline
Headings
Images
Layout structure
Now here’s the geeky-cool part… ![]()
When you work with AI, you’re basically clicking those same buttons — but with your words.
Think of Prompting Like “Describing the Toolbar”
Instead of manually formatting everything, you simply tell AI what you want:
Example Prompt:
You are acting as a professional document writer. Write a one-page DOCX document about how to assemble a generic table.
Formatting:
• Font size 14
• Headers centered, size 18
• Even paragraph spacing
• Single page only
See what happened there?
You gave:
Authority (who the AI is acting as)
Task (what to write)
Formatting controls (how it should look)
That’s structured prompting — and it dramatically improves results.
“Secret Sauce” Prompting Tip
Add this line to almost anything you ask AI:
If you have any questions or if anything I’ve asked is vague, please ask me before you generate anything.
That single sentence does two powerful things:
Forces AI to clarify instead of guessing
Helps you refine the outcome before it’s created
It works for documents, recipes, lesson plans — even business ideas.
Refinement Is Where the Magic Happens
Once AI gives you a result, don’t stop there.
You can say things like:
“Increase line spacing.”
“Change font to Calibri.”
“Add a step-by-step table.”
“Make headings blue and bold.”
With the clarification line included, AI will often suggest improvements you didn’t even think of.
Final Mindset Shift
Don’t think of AI as a robot that “just knows.”
It runs on triggers — your words.
Every word you use shapes the output.
Be clear
Be descriptive
Be structured
You don’t need fluff like “please” and “thank you.”
AI isn’t human — emotional language can actually dilute precision.
Treat it like a tool:
“Do this.”
“Format this.”
“Add this section.”
Push the right buttons with the right words…
…and you’ll be producing pro-level documents in no time. ![]()
