Ass When choosing from the paragraph alignment options in MicrosoftWord, choose “Align Left” for all of the document except for the title, which should be “Center.” To begin your next paragraph, proceed to the next line without adding additional lines between the paragraphs. The next paragraph starts here. The same format should be used for this second paragraph and all that come after it. Order, clarity, and following one format for the entire essay is important. Also, plan to use the same font and font size for the entire essay, even for the title. This creates a formal appearance and, in many cases, establishes respectability for the author by the reader or critic.
