FORMAT
Use this format: times or Hawaiian times font, 12 point size, double-spaced lines, one-inch margins, name, period and date in the upper right. Create a title and center it on the first page above the text.
Every word processing program allows users to “save as” and then offers a choice of different formats. The one common format shared by all programs is called “rich text format,” or RTF. When you finish writing, do a “save as” and select RTF as the format. Your document should then appear with an .rtf as its extension. Do this before you upload your file.
SUBMIT
Go to www.turnitin.com, log in and select “submit paper.” You can then browse to the location of the RTF file on your computer and upload the paper to turnitin.com.
