     Another important aspect of the page one mechanics is making sure the title is not all in caps!! Another thing is that the title can not be underlined or quoted in any way. The title should be your own and can only be capitalized when needed.

     Now after you've done all the correct formatting we can get to the mechanics in page one for your MLA paper!!
     Firstly you have to have the page number on the right corner of your paper. There are two ways to insert the page numbers. The easiest one is to double click at the top of the paper. A box saying header should appear and once it does go ahead and click on the section that says page number.

After you click on page number go to the section that says top of the page and click on plain number 3 so that the page numbers appear on the right side of the paper.

     Be sure to change the font to times new roman and to 12 point font!!!

     The second way to do it is to go to insert on the top tab then look for the section saying page number.

     Then after just follow the steps mentioned above (:
