Verdana, Arial, or Geneva.
Margins: 1" on all sides of your essay
Paragraphs: Indent the first line of every paragraph
Spacing: Double-space everything! Even your header and block quotes. Do not
skip extra lines before block quotations. 
Leave one space after a period before the beginning of the next sentence. 
Numbering: Your header should include page numbering in the upper right hand
corner of every page, 1/2" from the top of the page and right-adjusted with the
right margin. 
Name, Course, etc. Your identifying information goes in a header on the first page
only.  The first line should include your name, on the next line give your professor's
name, on the next line give the name of the course, on the last line write in the
date.  This header is double-spaced like everything else in your essay.
Titles: Center your title. Only put the titles of short works mentioned in your title in
quotes and long works in italics or underline; do not quote, italicize, or underline
your own title.
