INSERTING COVER PAGE INTO YOUR DOCUMENT (Using PC or MAC)


Create and save your Cover Page as a separate document.  As with the rest of your Appellate Brief formatting, create your Cover Page per your professor's instructions.


To insert your cover page into your main document:

  1. Go to the top of your main document
  2. Delete the words "Cover Page" (the words were typed in originally to serve as a marker)
  3. Leave the cursor where the capital C was
  4. Highlight and paste your Cover Page into your main document
