Some more information on what the paper is on would be helpful.  Otherwise, just be redundant.  If you say it once, say it again in slightly different words to make it seem like you've made a new point.

Restating things throughout the paragraphs.
Good, long intro's and transitions.
Make sure to use no conjuctions (and, but, etc.), use periods.
Change the margin's maybe?
Can't really think of anything else...

for the period trick you go file - find then click replace . with . and change the second one to a 14 pt font (guessing your using 12 pt) and click replace all, then close in the margins a little and use double spacing

go through and make all the periods and commas bigger... it'll add up if your paper is more than like 4 pages
