<p>In an MLA format research paper .</p>
<p>You generally don’t turn in an outline. The paper and works cited should be one document though.</p>
<p>The teacher said we are turning the outline in. That’s how we do it at my high school I guess. I just can’t seem to remember if my last teacher had us turn everything in as one document.</p>
<p>Do you mean stapled together? It depends on the teacher and what they want. Usually everything is turned in at the same time, so maybe?</p>
<p>Ask your teacher.</p>
<p>I mean one .doc file. Therefore when I print it, the paper,outline,and works cited will all print at the same time</p>
<p>Does it matter if you’re not turning it in digitally? You could just as easily print separate documents and staple them together, or just print out separate portions of one composite document.</p>
<p>Lol, it doesn’t matter at all how it is on your computer. Just ask your teacher how (s)he wants it turned in, and print accordingly.</p>
<p>The works cited and paper should all be one .doc file, because the page numbers need to be consecutive. For example, if the text if your paper is six pages long, your works cited header will need to be [LASTNAME] 7 and so forth. I would put the outline in a separate document and give it its own numbering system.</p>
<p>If you have Windows 7 (and I believe Vista will do the same thing), one nice thing is that you can easily ‘snap’ documents to half a screen, so you could have your outline on the left side of the screen to refer to ask you are working on the right side with you paper.</p>
<p>Purpleacorn is correct. Works cited and paper should be one .doc file. Other documentation like an outline or abstract should be in seperate files.</p>
