  6. It’s not in the right place, and it’s that annoying Calibri font! • I know. We just need a few last touches to that header to get it right. • Click the “Home” tab at the top of the page • Highlight the header and the page number • Change the font to Times New Roman and the size to 12 pt • Click the set of right-justified lines in the “Paragraph” box • Double click on your paper anywhere below the header line and… Voila!
