Paper Formatting

  • Times New Roman font
  • 12 pt font
  • Except for page numbers, leave one-inch margins all around the text of your paper -- left side, right side, and top and bottom.
  • Paragraphs should be indented half an inch; set-off quotations should be indented an inch from the left margin.
  • The MLA Guide says that "the research paper must be double-spaced," including quotations, notes, and the list of works cited. At the beginning of the paper format the paper to be double spaced:

Go to PAGE LAYOUT PARAGRAPH SPACINGDOUBLE SPACE

DO NOT go through and use the return key to double space your document!

  • Reference Page is its own separate page that is a part of the document.
  • Tables should be labeled "Table," given an arabic numeral, and captioned (with those words flush to the left-hand margin). Other material such as photographs, images, charts, and line-drawings should be labeled "Figure" and be properly numbered and captioned.
