MLA Format (Update for New Version of Windows)

There are a number of MLA format requirements that we still need to review. I have the directions for how to do them in the old version of Microsoft Word, but the computers we use in the computer lab have a newer version of Word. This is where you come in...

1) Get together with the people in your row.
2) Get a copy of Ms. Uzzilia's formatting directions for the old version of Word and review together.
3) Figure out how to update these instructions for the new version of Word (the kind we use in lab).
4) Create a short document showing step-by-step directions. You can do this with screen shots of all the steps (CTL+ALT+Print Screen, or at least that's how to do it in the old version of Word). An amusing cartoon might work as well, as long as it's informative.
5) Email me a copy of this document. Make sure to include the names of everyone who worked on it.
6) Have one or two people come up to demonstrate to the class using the overhead.

Later, I will combine your directions into one document and distribute them to the class.
