If you are using Microsoft Word 2010 and you're confused about the directions for Standard Academic Formatting, here's what to do:

1. Open Word.

2. Click on the tab at the top that says, "home."

3. The third box from the left says, "paragraph."  In its lower right corner, there's a tiny box with a tiny arrow in it.  Click on that.

4. A box titled "paragraph" should appear.

5.  Follow the instructions on "typing format cheat sheet."

Good luck!  If you have any other issues, feel free to e-mail me at [email protected].
