Research Papers
One of Microsoft Office 2007 Word’s greatest improvements is making research papers easier to do by making: Citations, endnotes, footnotes, and bibliographies
easier to do, using either: MLA or APA styles
Both MLA and APA guidelines suggest the use of in-text parenthetical citations (placed at the end of the sentence), instead of footnoting each source of material in a paper.
These parenthetical acknowledgements guide the reader to the end of the paper for complete information about the source.

inserting citations in a paper and later generates a list of sources from the citations.
When a document style is selected, Word will automatically format the citations and list of sources. The process for adding citations in Word is as follows: Modify the documentation style, if necessary. Insert a citation placeholder. Enter the source documentation

Footnotes
Explanatory notes are optional in the MLA documentation style.
They are used primarily to elaborate on points discussed in the research paper.
The MLA style specifies that a superscript (raised number) be used to indicate an explanatory note. This note is on the bottom of the page as a footnote,
or at the end of the document as an endnote. In Word, note text can be any length or format. Word automatically numbers the notes
sequentially.

Footnote Text Style
MBSH Mr. Dave Schmidt
When inserting a footnote, Word formats the text using Footnote Text style, which does not adhere to the MLA documentation style.
According to MLA style, the footnote/endnote should be formatted like all the other paragraphs in the document.
You can change the footnote by using first line indent and double spacing. Change the size of the font to match the rest of the document.

15
Editing Footnotes
You can edit footnotes just the same as any other text in the documents. If you are using the MLA
style, you need to change the footnote format to match the normal text.
The easiest way to do this is to select the footnote text and select Normal in the Home tab in the Styles box.
