Document Summary

The second page usually contains your executive summary, which is a summary of your paper. The executive summary should include your topic, purpose/thesis, and conclusions. Some instructors may tell you not to include an executive summary for a short paper or for a report. Thus, you should always check with your instructor concerning its length, or before excluding the executive summary. Note that the title executive summary is on the first line of this page and is not bolded, underlined, or italicized. Also note that the running head is at the top right-hand side of the page along with the page number. There is no extra space between the word executive summary and your text. In terms of margins, you should set your margins for 1 inch all around and you should use 12 or 10 point font. If you are going to bind your paper on the left, you may use a 1 inch margin on the left.
