Article: Guide paper is paper that has two horizontal, parallel, solid lines running from one side of the paper to the other, with a dotted line that is in the middle of the two lines. This paper will help the student focus on making the letters the correct sizes. Large letters should reach from the top solid line to the bottom solid line, and lower-case letters should reach from the dotted line to the lower solid line. You can typically purchase this paper at teacher supply stores, or you can download templates online (search for "handwriting guide paper," and you will find multiple templates). In a pinch, you can also make the paper yourself. However, if you do this, you should make sure that all guidelines are uniform in size and length so that the students can practice with consistency. It is important that students also learn to pay attention to the spacing between each letter and each word, and to try and be consistent with the spacing. Students can use their pinky fingers or a popsicle stick to help them learn how much space should be between each word. The spacing between letters is a bit more tricky to measure, but the letters should be far enough apart so that they do not touch or run into each other. At first, students will have a hard time focusing on this, but as their motor skills develop, they should practice keeping all letters slanted at a uniform angle. One way to help the students check whether the slant is uniform is to draw a vertical line through the center of each letter. When you (or the student) finish drawing these lines, you should be able to see that the lines are all parallel to each other. If the student is still learning how to make the slant uniform, some lines will be parallel, while some may slant in opposite directions. If the student is struggling, don't lose your patience. Simply explain to them how the lines should look, and demonstrate it yourself. Then, let them practice again.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Use guide paper. Practice letter and word spacing. Observe the slant of the letters.
Article: Set your cursor where you want the footnote or endnote number in your text. Typically this will be at the end of a sentence, but it may be after a signal phrase or author's name. Go up to the "References" tab and click "Insert Footnote" or "Insert Endnote." Word will automatically create a superscripted number in your text and move the cursor to the footnote or endnote field. You can use sequential numbers, letters, or other symbols to mark your footnotes or endnotes. You can also specify what number or letter you want them to start from. By default, footnotes or endnotes will continue sequential numbering throughout your document. If you want the numbers to restart at the beginning of each new section or chapter, you can specify this in the settings. You can enter your citation by hand, or you can use the "Insert Citation" tool to add a citation in your footnote or endnote. Choose your source from the drop-down or add a new source if you want to cite a source that you haven't entered yet. You can also use the "Placeholder" tool if you don't yet have all the information for the source and need to add it in later. Check the formatting against your style guide to make sure it's correct before you continue. When you're ready to go back up to where you left off and start writing again, double-click the number or other symbol at the beginning of the footnote. It will send the cursor back to the end of the text. Similarly, you can double-click a superscripted footnote number in the text to check that footnote, edit, or add to it. While you can also simply scroll down the page, this is a quicker way to get there.

Select the footnote or endnote option on the "References" tab. Use the "Expand" icon to adjust footnote or endnote settings. Type your footnote or endnote into your document. Double-click the footnote number to go back to the document.
Article: It's a key component in any relationship, but when you're in college, there are so many opportunities to meet new people. Your girlfriend should know what she can trust you, and you should be able to trust her in return. Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts to building trust, so you need to put in the time. Being consistently considerate, supportive, loyal, and affectionate is the best way to get your girlfriend to trust you. It will be easier to trust one another if you establish a commitment from the start. Make sure you both know exactly what you expect from one another. Between classes, work, extracurricular activities, and friends, college students have a lot of demands on their schedule, but in order for your relationship to thrive, you have to make an effort to see your girlfriend on a regular basis. Even committing to seeing each other only two or three times a week can make a big difference into making your relationship work. If you're very busy, get creative about finding time to spend with your girlfriend. For example, if you're both swamped with midterms, study together. You can take turns quizzing each other or meet up to have a late night snack. While it's natural to want to spend all your time with someone that you care about, healthy relationships allow for both parties to grow as people. Allow her to cultivate interests that are separate from yours, while you do the same. While she's doing her own thing, it's still important to be supportive. For example, if she takes up a new hobby that you don't participate in, such as the intramural volleyball team, show up for games and events to cheer her on. College is a transitional period for many people, and that can make it difficult to keep a relationship going. If you're serious about your girlfriend, you should have an honest conversation with her about what's going to happen down the road and where you both expect the relationship to go. For example, if she's planning to go to graduate school in New York after college and you're moving to Seattle for medical school, you may decide that you don't want to get too invested.
