  • @zueasful

    Loved the simplicity of showing how to make the hanging indent for works cited in MLA format. However, the heading with your name, professor's name, class, date, and title are not double spaced; everything else will be; if you do not go into options for line spacings and click on do not make additional space after hitting enter. This is for no additional spaces after hitting enter, such as after the title or creating a new paragraph. Thank you for doing this video about hanging indents for works cited!

    Some things that I already knew would be how to indent and the style of writing that always shows up when you open a new document. I learned a lot of new things starting with the header and how you can use the aline right to put the header in the right position. I learned that you have to have an inch margin and indent. The setting defaults I didn't know you could make. I also didn't know about the date, how it's supposed to be the day, month and year. I never knew there was a specific order. Moving forward I will be using the setting defaults so that I don't have to worry about getting marked down points for the format.
