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 SPACINGDOUBLE 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.
