Darn it all to Canada!

I'm only on page three of my paper and darn it I need five more!!!!!! Stupid Civil War paper! It's due on Wednesday, too, which makes me all the more stressed. Crap. I'm so screwed-_-;;; I'm thinking of cheating a bit by making the font Courier. Wonder if I can get away with that... Probably not, though. Great. Excellent

A trick I sometimes use if I run out of things to say in a paper is to run a find/replace to make all of the punctuation marks (and only the punctuation marks) a size or two larger font than the words are. It doesn't add a ton, but you can get a few extra lines and every little bit helps. Plus it's next to impossible to get caught at it unless you turn a paper in electronically and the professor actually cares enough to look.

We were told to hand it in in person, so that should help. Thanks!

Erm, how exactly do I do that? ^^;;;;

You can go through the whole paper and change all the punctuation marks one at a time or you can do a find/replace by typing ctrl + f and then telling it to find all the size 12 periods and replace them with size fourteens or whatever size you want.
