PAPER TITLE STYLE

This is the “Regular Paragraph” style which follows the “PAPER TITLE” style (which is always all capitalized). This style includes a regular paragraph indentation of ½ inch, is double-spaced, and uses a 12 point font. The paragraph that follows is always another regular paragraph unless the writer indicates a different style.

This is the “Block Quote” style. Block quotations are normally reserved for direct citations which run four lines of text or more. Readers will notice that the block paragraph is single-spaced, is left-indented by ½ inch and is not right-justified. Block quotations almost always end up with a footnote/endnote reference number (using Arabic numbers).

This paragraph reverts to the Regular Paragraph style. There is a regular double-space between the block quotation and this paragraph. To access these paragraph styles, use the “Quick Style” templates as accessed through the “Ribbon” above (Word 2010 and later).

This is the Proper Format for Level 1 Subtitles

Sometimes, sub-titles are helpful in a paper. Notice that there are no extra lines between the foregoing paragraph and the subtitle. Subtitles are titled capitalized, i.e., first word and major words are capitalized.

This is a Level 2 Subtitle

A second level subtitle is centred with no underlining and with title capitalization. Most papers rarely need to extend beyond two levels of subtitles. However, there is a third level subtitle style available as well.

This is a Level 3 Subtitle

The third level subtitle has no indentation, but is underlined and title capitalized.

The student name, class information, date, etc. use the “Class Info” paragraph style. All formatting is based on the Briercrest Seminary “Quick Reference Format Guide.”

This is the way a normal footnote looks. Notice that the features: There is a 2 inch separator line (unless a footnote extends to the next page, in which case there is a full line separator). There is a blank line after the separator. The footnote is indented ½”, and the footnote number is superscripted. The footnote text is single spaced and is double-spaced between entries. DO NOT HIT <ENTER> AFTER A FOOTNOTE or the formatting will not work properly.

These entries use a bibliography style that works for both footnote/endnote bibliographies and parenthetical style “Reference Lists.” The title is all caps using the “PAPER TITLE” style. The first line is not indented, but the second line is indented ½”. Entries are single-spaced within the entry, but double-spaced between entries. Note that APA bibliographies must be formatted differently. See Briercrest Seminary Format Guide for proper format of APA “References” or “Works Cited” pages.
