Now ... position your cursor on page two. You will remember that
according to 14.10 in the Turabian manual, the first page of
your paper, which is considered a new major section will have a
2" top margin, while the rest of the paper according to 14.2
will have a 1" top margin. You could get around the setting margin issue
by adding several paragraph breaks, but, as we will see in
Lesson 4,
that would not help you with page numbers.
-
So, since the first page is different from the other pages, it
has to be a different section.
-
Go
to the menu bar and press Insert,
and then Break.
-
In
the dialog window under Section break types
press Continuous and then
OK.
-
What you have done is make the current page (the first page
of your paper, but in reality page two) a section by itself,
that is section two. The rest of the document is now section
three. The trick here is to realize that everything you do
before this section break affects only section two, and
everything you do after this section break affects section
three.
-
Position your cursor before the section break
-
Go
to the menu bar and press File,
and then Page Setup.
-
In
the dialog window under Margins set
the Top margin to
1.9"
(because of the section break taking up space a 2" setting will
result in a 2.1" top margin), the
Bottom margin to
1", and also make sure that the
Left and
Right margins are set to 1".
Click OK.
-
Position your cursor after the section break
-
Go
to the menu bar and press File,
and then Page Setup.
-
In
the dialog window under Margins set
the Top margin to
1", the
Bottom margin to
1", and also make sure that the
Left and
Right margins are set to 1".
Click OK.
-
Now that you are done formatting the Page, we need to format
your paragraphs. Go to the menu bar and press
Format, and then
Paragraph. In the dialog window
under Indentation set the
Special to
First Line and the By
to 0.25" (this will indent the
first line of every paragraph by about 5 spaces, see 14.4 in
Turabian). Also in the dialog window, under Spacing set the
Line Spacing to
Double. Click
OK.
-
Except for page numbers, which will be discussed in
Lesson
4, you are done formatting your document. Do remember that any
other chapter or sections (such as a
Bibliography, for example)
needs to follow the 14.10 Turabian rule. Thus when you are done
writing your paper insert a next page section break, and then
repeat what you have just done above.
