This is a single-spaced document written in 12-point font, Times New Roman. It comprises about 500 words. If one copied the text of this page into a Microsoft Word Document with standard 1-inch margins on each side and printed it while retaining the formatting rules mentioned above, the text would neatly fill a sheet of 8.5 x 11-inch computer paper. This paragraph, for example, is being perfectly composed with such a page in mind. Like how a tailored shirt should fit just expectedly so.
I’m utilizing the Word Document formatting that has been imbued in me for as long as I can remember. We certainly learned how to type with proper home key placement in elementary school and, of course, our teachers introduced us to the Internet and its databases for study purposes, yet I cannot recall when I first began formatting documents with any particular concern for an orderly method. Perhaps when we first began assimilating the information we found via search engines into prim-and-proper essays did our teachers insist that we type to their specifications which became a paradigm of normality. I can now understand flaws in their teaching in the way that all of normality reveals its surface flaws if you dig a bit deeper, but I cannot imagine another way of drawing up a Document due to an unwillingness to reformulate a habit.
