% we use the 'tcolorbox' package to create most of the formatting
\usepackage[most]{tcolorbox}

% we use 'geometry' package so that we can set the margins to be exactly we eant. In this case, 2.54 cm all around, to match those that MS word uses by default. Note that we set different margins at the top and bottom to take account of the custom header and footer that we are using.
