Students -

Rules for Formating! So, you are at home and you don't remember exactly what your paper is supposed to look like. Here's your answer! Take a look at Susie Sweetcheeks' paper. She knows how to do it all and she'll tell you how to do it if you've got Microsoft Office 07. If not, take a look at her's anyway. Remember - the heading of your paper (your name, class name . . . ) never actually goes in the header of the document - you don't need that on every page! You do, however, need your last name and page number on each page - that should go in the header!!
