For manual insertion, use this template’s preset indentation / tab settings: Fully justified, first line of paragraph begins 0.25” to the left of subsequent lines, and tab is set for 0.25”. Begin reference numbers with a period, then tab to start citation text at 0.25”. Subsequent lines of text should flow to begin directly under the start of the first line of text (not the number).
