17 Formatting your Title Page

The title page is the only page where you won’t need to use styles and can, indeed should do

everything manually. This is because the title page is unique. Using styles would only create

extra work. The only exception would be if you were working in a publishing house producing

loads of optically identical title pages – but this is not the kind of situation we are dealing with

here.

I would go for the following settings:

• choose as base font a slightly larger size 14pt instead of 12pt

• 24pt bold for the main title, 20pt standard for the subtitle, both centred

• Line spacing of 1 and Spacing Above paragraph as well as Below para-

graph of 0; this allows you greater flexibility to place the various main elements of

your title page (top part, middle part and bottom part) simply using Returns and at the

same time ensures the latter appear in themselves more compact thanks to reduced

spacing between the lines

18 Papers Without a Title Page

For short papers, say 6 to 10 pages, you will probably not need an extra unnumbered page for

the title. Rather all pages will be numbered starting with 1 and you will therefore need only

one page style for the whole document, namely the Default page style. Instead of a stand-

alone title page you will simply reserve the first quarter or so of the first text page for general

information on the document (see illustration 19):

• title / topic

• course name and number

• lecturer’s name

• author(s)

• student ID

• date / deadline

• and lastly a separator line

As noted above, all these pages including the first one should be numbered. For this prefer-

ably use a footer rather than a header, so as to avoid visual conflict with the info part on your

first page. If you really want page numbering on top of page instead, then you will need two

page styles, one First Page with no header and the rest Default. But numbering will be

automatically correct.

Note: Please do not confuse this leading paragraph with a Header. A Header gets repeated on

each page, your lead paragraph only appears once on the first page and not on subsequent

pages.
