The Period
The Date
The Title
Skip two lines from the title and then indent five spaces before
starting to type. When you are typing the body of your essay, you
should double space. To get the computer to double space, go to
format, then to paragraph, and then on line spacing, select double.
When you start a new paragraph, you don’t need to skip two lines.
Also, use Times New Roman, 12 point font. If you will be typing more
than one page, please number the pages. Use standard margins that
are set by Word. If you want to know how long a paper is, go to tools
and click on word count.
Finally, use spell check AND proofread your paper. Follow these
rules, and you will have a paper that is professional and that will,
hopefully, earn a great grade.
