Title Page

A Title Page is the very first page your reader will see. It contains the title of your paper, your name, and the name of the institution you're writing from. You'll also set up your "Running head."

At this point it can be helpful to see the "Ruler." To view the "Ruler," go to the "View" tab and put a check in the box marked "Ruler."
