Formatting Your Papers in Turabian Style

The Turabian Style and Citation Guide lists the specific requirements for how each element of your paper (e.g., margins, page numbers, titles) should look. Fortunately, most of the formatting is easy to do in word processing programs. Unless your instructor has her own specific rules regarding formatting, you should stick to these standards for any class paper.
