alphabetical order. For your reference section to appear in alphabetical order, you need to format your citations using the author’s name or names and year of publication. Formatting page numbers is often a problem encountered by students during this process. The key to solving this issue is to divide your paper into sections. Each section can be treated like a mini-document. Different versions of MS Word have different menu options, however, you should look for break” in your menu bar. Example: in “section the preliminary pages, the page number is set to start at page ii on that specific page. The cursor is on page ii. In that way, the signature page is not counted nor numbered and the title page will count as page i, but is not visibly numbered. At the end of the preliminary pages, another section break starts so that the page numbering changes to 1, 2, 3, etc. Do page numbering after all other edits have been completed. To change page margins, you need to utilize the section break function as well. An example is moving from the first page of a Chapter to the next page. Since a chapter heading is a major heading, the page must have a two-inch top margin. However, the following pages of the chapter will need a one-inch top margin. Make a section break after the first page of the chapter so you can format the next page to have a one-inch top margin. The next page of this template covers how to format subdivisions. You may number your subdivisions or you can simply title them. However, the spacing between different types of subdivisions and how the heading appears is quite specific. 1.1 Insert of 1st order subdivision
