1. How I can put a Table of Contents in a document, when you have several pages and you need a reference page to guide you it is a great idea to create a Table of Contents.
2. If you are in your Table of Contents and you hold down the Ctrl button and click on a specific item you will go straight to that page, instead of scrolling down through all of your pages.
3. MLA doesn't use a footer, and it also doesn't need a cover sheet.
4. To squeeze in one word so that it doesn't make you have two pages, you fiddle with the Clip Mark icon until it is in the position that you would like it to be so that your not having unnecessary pages for just one single word.
