    This paper is being written using a Word Processing program, following the recommended guide lines on the Prince of Peace Catholic School Style Sheet.  Formal student papers should direct the reader's attention to the content of the paper, instead of distracting the reader with fancy technology. Computers are simply a tool to help writers edit and revise using the process of writing.

         Here are a few tips. Each paragraph should be indented by tapping the TAB key once. Do not hit ENTER at the end of lines. Let the Word Processor wrap the words to the next line. If your paper is more than one page, put all the pages in order and staple them together. Proof read your papers, even if the spell checker says there are no errors. Always save your work before printing it.
