GENERAL FORMATTING INFORMATION

Font

1. Use 12-point Times New Roman or Courier.


2. Use italics sparingly for emphasis instead of bold, underlining, or all capital letters.
3. Eliminate bold text.

Margins

1. Use 1-inch margins throughout the paper (top, bottom, sides).


2. Use a ragged right-hand margin (no right justification).

Pagination

Use automatic pagination. Be sure to have at least two lines of a paragraph at


the bottom of a page or at the top of a page. When headings are used, place at least
two lines of text with the heading at the bottom of a page. (Avoid placing a heading at
the bottom of the page with no other lines of the paragraph.)

Hanging Indent

The Hanging Indent should be at 0.5”

Spacing

1. Use double spacing throughout, including title page, references, and indented
quotations. (Note: Word 2007 places extra space between paragraphs. You will need
to adjust this by selecting the Page Layout menu. Then access Paragraph and Indents
and Spacing. Under the Spacing heading, set the spacing option to 0 pt. before and 0
pt. after. Click OK.)
2. Use one space after each end punctuation mark. Be consistent throughout the
document.

Page Headers

1. Click on the Insert tab.


2. Click on the Header tab.
3. Click on the Blank header tab from the drop-down menu. This will put the curser
inside the header.
4. Click on the Page Number tab.
5. Place the curser on the drop-down menu over Top of Page to bring up another drop-
down menu.
6. Click on Plain Number 3 on the drop-down menu (the third choice). This will place a
page number inside the header at the right margin.
7. Type the portion of the title to go in the header and add five spaces. Your header is
complete.
