Please
follow these steps to successfully customize the essay template you
are required to use for the course. We will first use the MLA
essay template. Later in the term, we will use the APA
template along with its documentation system.
CUSTOMIZE THE HEADING:
1. At
the very top, replace the line "Your Name Goes Here" with your first
and last name.
2. Change
the due date every time you start a new essay. Remember to use the
submission date.
CUSTOMIZE THE PAGE HEADER:
1. At
the top of page 2 and double-click "YourLastName" to activate the
header.
2. Double-click
on the text "YourLastName" and type just your last name, being
sure to leave a space between it and the automatic page number
to the right of it. Do not erase the page number. Simply
choose undo typing from the Edit menu if you make a mistake.
3. After
adding your last name to the header, click the close button on the
floating tool bar.
4. Save
this file in a folder called English201 and retain the name
of this file 201Template.doc. Do not erase this file. Once
you open this file to begin a new essay, immediately go to FILE-Save
As and rename the new document. Save all your work for this class
in this English201 folder on your
hard disk. Back up this English201 folder often.
กก
OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENDED: Make your
file a read-only file
1. Close
this file and locate it in your English201 folder.
2. Right
click the template's filename and choose Properties
3. Click
the "Read-only" Attributes box.
4. Click
the OK button. Your file will now prompt you to resave it with a
new filename, and it will never become corrupted.
Your template is now customized, and
you should use this file for all your class coursework.กก |
