Getting that last page done on your 10-page research paper is always difficult to do. Need to add some length? Here are some ways to extend your paper so you don't have to do all the leg work.
1. Change the size of your periods. If you change all of these from 10-12 or 12-14 font size, it will add at least a page to your document, depending on how long it is. CTRL+F with find and replace, and then add the bigger period to replace the smaller ones. Hope this helps!
2. Change your spacing. Typically in word you can add more depth to your spacing to make your double-spacing longer, however you do not want to add too much. You need to keep this spacing reasonable, not noticeable. Under paragraph you will see a spacing tab, click on this and then up your double spacing point (pt.) just a teeenssyy bit. This may help! =)
3. Change your font to Arial. This only works in your COPA classes or for the professors who don't really care about AP style or the type of font/size that you are using. If you change it to Arial 12pt. font, it will most likely add a half page or possibly even one to your research paper.
4. Do your research before you start writing. This will not only put more ideas in your head before you begin to write, but it will also take less time to write your paper if you break up your research day and your writing day.
5. Make your headers BIGGER. This will add length.
Random thought: Let's go UCONN.
