Create Word Processed Documents

Now that you have completed your research and written your outline, you are ready to write the first draft of your paper. The easiest way to write a research paper is to use a word processing program.

Word processing programs enable you to revise your paper without too much work. The first draft of a paper should never be the final draft.

You may see areas of your paper that aren't very clear or fully developed, and you may need to add more information to clarify them for the reader.
