[Title]: ShadeCraft

[Research papers that use MLA format do not include a cover page unless requested by

your instructor. Instead, start with the information shown. Do not bold the title or use all capital

letters. Capitalize the first and last words of the title, and all principal words. If your paper

includes a subtitle, separate it from the title by a colon and space, as shown. For more specific

guidance on capitalization, see the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 7th Edition

(MLA 7th Edition).]

[All text—including titles, quotations, notes, and list of works cited—uses double line

spacing. Body text and note text use a half-inch first-line indent. The list of works cited uses a

half-inch hanging indent. Table titles and source text use a quarter-inch indent. To access all of

these text formats, on the Home tab of the ribbon, check out Styles.]

[MLA format discourages extensive use of content notes. But, when you need to add

notes, you can use either endnotes or footnotes. MLA 7th Edition indicates that you should use a

superscript, Arabic numeral at an appropriate place in the text for the note reference. To begin

the note text, use the same numeral, not superscript, and followed by a period.]

[If you use endnotes, they should be on a separate page, at the end of your text and

preceding the list of works cited. If you use footnotes, consult your professor for preferred

format.]

[For quotations of more than four lines, indent the quote one inch from the left

margin and do not use quotation marks. This style is named Quote. Apply this or

any text style with just a tap, on the Home tab, under Styles. Note that, for shorter

quotations, you can put them in quotation marks and incorporate them directly

into text.]

Table 1

[This sample table is formatted to follow MLA guidelines. To add a new table, on the Insert tab,

tap Table. When you create a new table in this document, it will automatically use MLA

formatting.]
