Use plain black printing off a good laser or bubble-jet printer. Use plain, white, 20-lb. Word-processors will allow for the appropriate spacing. Spacing around quotation marks and parentheses can raise questions. The most important rule you must remember about quotation marks is that in the United States, periods and commas go inside quotation marks regardless of logic.
Titles can be important.
If you can't think of a good title, it might mean that your paper has no real focus. Capitalize the first, last, and important words of your title. A title can end in a question mark or exclamation mark, but it cannot end in a period. A title page is probably unnecessary, but you should ask your instructor about that. Fancy graphics or bold or italic printing on your title page, if you use one, is not necessary and probably should be avoided.
