2. Paragraph Formatting
 Paragraph formatting is a change in the format of text that affects an entire
paragraph or is different from other paragraphs in a document. Paragraphs in a
word processing document or on a web page can have paragraph formatting
applied to them, including font type, font size, highlighting, and indentation.
 Spacing
 Use 1.5 or double spaced text. Only footnotes, long quotations, bibliography
entries (double space between entries), table captions, and similar special material
may be single spaced (1.0)
 Margins
 It is recommended a left margin of 1.5" and a top, bottom, and right margin of 1"

3. Page numbers: top of page (left, middle and right) and bottom of the page (left,
middle and right).
Acceptable fonts include, but are not restricted to: Times 14 for the entire writing
and 12 for quotations.
An indentation is the space at the beginning of a line of writing when it starts
further away from the edge of the paper than all the other lines. You should indent
the beginning of each page either pressing on the “Tab key in the keyboard or you
can indent the entire text from the format tab in word.”
You should justify your paragraph to look clean, crisp edges and more polished.

4. Which paragraph looks clean and more
polished.
