HOW TO TYPE YOUR PAPER (II)

Rule #2 Explanation. In the Bibliography, put sources in alphabetical order by first letter of last name of author, then number them consecutively, in ascending order.

Go back in text of the paper, starting with Chapter 2. Then, look at the name in parentheses right behind that first source, and see what number it is in the Bibliography, and REPLACE THE NAME WITH THE NUMBER in that chapter.
Do this for all the source info for every chapter.

Hit “save” when done.


Rule #3 Explanation. Your source info is your proof, your “independent verification and fact presenter”, if you will. They are not your words. YOUR words are the words that lead to, and then from, each source quote. This is where you type in your own thoughts, beliefs, ideas, etc. Think of your source info as bricks and your own words as the mortar.

When you have finished typing in your own words, hit “save.”

Rule #4 Explanation. This is risky, because no spell checker known to man is sharp enough to pick up misspellings when the word is spelled correctly, but it’s the wrong word, such as “too” and “to.” TIP: Use the spell checker, and then your eyes. Hit “save.”

Rule #5 Explanation. Do this for each chapter, one chapter at a time. As you complete a chapter, scroll down to the next chapter heading, such as Chapter 3, Chapter 4, whatever), and scroll it down to a new separate page, since each chapter must begin on its own separate page. Hit save.
