This format is used for history, political science, and some art and humanities courses.  There are several key elements to set up in the document at the start of the paper. Set the document format for doublespacing, one inch margins all around, 12-point font size, and a font type of Times New Roman.  In addition, indent each new paragraph using the TAB key (an automatic indent of seven spaces) and provide only one space after every period. After setting up the document format, the paper begins with a cover sheet or title page that contains the paper’s title, student’s name, course number, and date of submission (some instructors also want their name included before the date -- ask your instructors for what they prefer).\nAs this sample shows, the cover page is not numbered, but all other essay pages include a page number in a header in the right corner of the top margin. Some instructors also want your last name to be included in this header. Additionally, some instructors will not want the header included in the Bibliography or Endnotes page. Ask your instructors for what they prefer. The first page of your essay text should start on page 1. To do this, go to the “Insert” tab, click on “Page Number” and choose “Top of Page” from the drop-down menu. Select “Plain Number 3” because it will place your number in the top right corner. This action will automatically open the header, and you should see shaded page numbers and your cursor right in front of a number. If needed, type your last name and a space right here. Look up at your green “Header and Footer Tools” tab and click the box next to “Different First Page” to clear the numbering from the cover page. Then, click the “Page Number” button (look left) and choose “Format Page Numbers,” which will open a small window. Under “Page Numbering” in this window, change the setting to “Start at” and click the number to 0 in the box. Click “Okay,” because everything is.\nCitations in Chicago work very differently from those in Modern Language Association (MLA) or American Psychological Association (APA). Instead of parenthetical citations with page numbers, footnotes are used, or, in some cases, endnotes; ask the professor which he or she prefers. Footnotes appear at the bottom of the page, and endnotes appear at the end of the paper before the Bibliography. When activating the footnote feature in Word, a small superscript number will appear in the document with an accompanying number at the bottom of the page. Footnotes need to be indented, so move the cursor in front of the number and press the Tab key to accomplish this. According to the Chicago Manual of Style, “a basic requirement for all footnotes is that they at least begin on the page on which they are referenced.” Footnotes allow easy reference to a citation entry within the paper, as well as “immediate knowledge of the sources…essential to readers.”2\nAs for endnotes, they are on a separate page at the end of the paper, titled Notes.  Each endnote is indented, numbered, and followed by a period, a space, and the citation information. Endnotes are listed in the order in which they occur. That is, they are not listed alphabetically. \"If the choice is left up to you, weigh the advantages of each form. Footnotes allow your reader to refer easily and quickly to the sources cited on a given page, but they can be distracting.\"\nFollow the superscript to the note below to see how this citation is written according to Chicago format. Notice the author's name is arranged with the first name first and the last name last, and the publishing information is located within parentheses. It is also automatically resized at 10-point rather than 12-point. There is a period placed only at the end of the footnote; commas are used to designate separati","cbCaifcdxZszY4Di","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifcdxZszY4Di","docx",28513,9,"English","# Chicago format paper setup\n## Document formatting requirements\n## Title page and page numbering\n## Chicago citations: footnotes and endnotes\n## Using block quotations and avoiding plagiarism","[{\"question\":\"What document formatting settings are required for a Chicago format paper?\",\"answer\":\"Use double spacing, one-inch margins on all sides, 12-point font size, and Times New Roman.
