Formatting Papers YEP, YOU HAVE TO GET THIS RIGHT!
1. Great Title Never title your paper My Essay or My Summer Assignment. Give it a title that fits the work. 2. Page Numbers Upper right-hand corner In the header 3. Time New Roman 12 pt. font ONLY
4. Double space For some reason, there is a glitch in the program. Unless you do the following, your paper will not be double-spaced and you will get dinged for it. Make sure you paper is set for double space. I know this may sound silly, but you don t want to get too much in a hurry and forget. Using the drop down box, you will note there are several choices. You will probably have the following: 1.0, 1.15, 1.5 etc. Under all of that, there will be a line and 2 more choices: Add/Remove space before paragraph, Add/Remove space after paragraph. If you see the word Remove , click on it to change to Add . For some reason, MS adds an extra .25 to your paper if you do not. Once you click Remove , you will see your paper shift up. Now you have a paper that is truly double-spaced.
