How do I format a paper in MLA style?
Answer
The following is the standard format for an MLA style paper:
- 1 inch margins on all sides
- 12 point legible font, i.e., Times New Roman
- Double-spacing throughout the paper
- Page numbers with the author's last name in the top-right corner
- Works cited page at the end of the paper
