Make 1inch margins, use Times New Roman 12 font and double spacing.
The above-mentioned rules may not be applied to footnotes, references, picture captions, bibliographies, block quotes, and reference page.
In the Turabian format, the title page is not numbered. In case there is a table of contents, the title page will be marked as “i”.
Verbs are used in the active voice.
Choose one of the two citation styles, i.e. a Reference Page style or a Bibliography one. Make sure that instructions provided by your teacher indicate which one to select.
When you make a reference to the source which data are in footnotes, use Ibid. to make the quotation shorter.
The Bible has to be cited in footnotes and not in the bibliography list.

Formatting the Main Body

Below, there are a few variants of formatting headings in the Turabian style.

First: centered heading, bold or italicized, the headline-style capitalization is used
Second: headline-style capitalization, centered, regular type font
Third: flush left, headline-style capitalization, in bold or italics
Fourth: roman type, flush left, sentence-style capitalization
Fifth: heading is placed at the beginning of paragraph (no any blanks after it, bold or italicized, sentence-style capitalization, period).
