When creating your Works Cited page at the end of your paper, remember to incorporate the following rules: 

  • The title should be written as Works Cited

  • Your reference page should start on a new page.
    • While you can press ENTER until it is a new page, instead, head over to INSERT and select PAGE BREAK.
