1 Using Microsoft Word 2010 to Write a Turabian Paper The best source for writing research papers is the A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations (Eighth Edition). A copy is available at the Reference desk (This book cannot leave the library). Start out by using white 8 ½ by 11 inch paper. The papers in the library s printers are just what you need. Using any other type or color of paper is not permitted. 1. Before you start typing, set your margins. Turabian requires your margins to be 1 inch top, bottom, left, and right. In Microsoft Word, start a new document and then click the Page Layout tab, then click the Margins button. Be sure the margins are set to Normal (Top 1, Bottom 1, Left 1 and Right 1 ). 2. Spacing-. Click the Home tab and then click the little arrow in the Paragraph group. Be sure the Spacing before and after is set to 0 pt. Change the Line Spacing to Single. Click the OK button to accept the change. ggp 7/25/2013 Page 1

You just type in the author s last name, a shortened title, and the page number as shown below: 21 Smith, Age Without Wisdom, Block quotes - If what you are quoting is more than five lines, you must indent it by itself by one inch, single spaced and it must be on a separate line without quotation marks.
