Schmidt 1 Your Name Mr.

Schmidt APLAC 8 March 2010 Title (centered) Begin each paragraph with a indentation from the left margin. Your default tab is probably already set at .5 inch. Click on Format from the top menu, and then click on Document from the drop down. Set your left, right, top, and bottom margins to one inch. Set header and footer to .5 inch. Next, click on Paragraph from the drop down and set line spacing to double. To add the page number with your last name, go to Insert from the top menu, and click on Page Numbers. In the Position box, choose to print the page numbers in the header at the top of the page. Choose Right alignment and click OK. You should now see a faint page number at the top right of your page. Double click on it to open the footer/header. Type your last name as a header and set the alignment to the right. All of your pages will now automatically have your last name and correct page number in the upper right corner. When you have finished typing a sentence or section that you want to footnote, click on Insert from the top menu and then Footnote from the drop down. Make sure that the footnote and auto number buttons are activated and click OK.1 Just move the curser back to the ending spot to continue after adding your commentary. Your next footnote will automatically be numbered 2 (and so on).2

This will provide the space at the bottom of the page for your commentary. See!

Now the time has come when you need to set off a long quotation for a close textual reading. When you have reached the point for your offset quotation, hit return to move your curser to the next line and click on Format from the top menu, choose Paragraph, set the left indentation to 1 inch, and click OK. At this point, go ahead and type your passage remembering to type it, word for word, exactly as it appears in the test. Remember, also, to keep your text doublespaced, so there is no need to change anything in the spacing format. Any quotation that runs more than four lines in your paper should be set off in this manner. Do not place quotation marks around long quotations that are set off in this manner, and place the parenthetical citation after the end punctuation. (2) When you have finished typing the long quotation, move to the next line and reset your left indentation to 0. If you need to reproduce more than one paragraph in a long quotation, indent the first lines of each paragraph another inch (three spaces). Sometimes when you are using quotations, there are bits of dialogue or other quoted material within your chosen quotation. When this happens, use single quotation marks to replace the double quotation marks from the original text. If you end your quotation with quoted material from the text, use a single quotation mark followed by a double (Smith 3).
