My Title Is the Best
Indent the paragraphs all the time. You should not leave any extra spaces anywhere. Note that everything is doublespaced throughout (if you turned on Control 2 for double spacing.
Your title – all words should be capitalized unless it is an article
(a, an, the), a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, for, nor), or a preposition (in, off, of, etc.). All first and last words of the title are automatically capitalized regardless of the type of word
Despite the size of these letters, all letters should be a size 11 or
12 font. DO NOT CHANGE YOUR FONT! Cute is no good. Do not underline the title, put quotes around it, or make it bold or “pretty.”
