Microsoft Word
Microsoft Word is the most used document program. All of the campus computers have Microsoft Word installed. If you want to edit your paper later in a different program, make sure to save the document as Rich Text Format (.rtf), using the Save As option under the File tab.
Font Settings
Font settings are located in Font section of the Home Tab. When choosing your font, each name is written in that font, so you know what it looks like. Your font size is located right next to it. Most professors state that you must use size 12.
Paragraph Settings
Next to the font section is the Paragraph section.
