Using the Cumbre Page
Using the Cumbre PageWhen you are writing a sample essay, the Cumbre page is the area that appears in a top left hand corner of your document. You will use it to format all your content and, of course, there are plenty of different ways you can go about doing this.The first way you are most likely to use it is to format it as it is seen by someone who has a computer and is already viewing your document. This means you will be inserting the heading into the text as well as copying the heading line-by-line. If you have a lot of heading lines in your document, you will need to add a second paragraph to mark the second heading of the document.The Cumbre page has been used in some of the earliest written English documents to be produced. Since then, most writers have avoided using this area, but it is still in use today. In fact, most people find it impossible to format their own sample essay without using the Cumbre page. It is a matter of convenience and efficiency, with a little extra work.The Cumbre page is most commonly used for showing a word in context, using which you can put quotation marks around it. For example, if you want to write about a man, you can make the phrase 'a prominent politician' appear above the headings of your text to help you with remembering where to place the quotes around the text.On the other hand, if you want to write about a woman, you can simply format the heading as 'a woman', just as in the phrase 'a woman in politics'. If you want to use paragraph breaks, then you can format your paragraphs as the first paragraph, then the second paragraph, then the third, and so on. All this formatting will take place automatically, with no indication of what has happened.There are only a few instances when you will need to insert a heading to the Cumbre page manually. These times include when you want to show someone the date of your sample, where there is a change of subject (such as 'Politics', 'Actions', or 'Human Interests'), or when ther e is a citation that requires a date (such as 'Isabel Gray' for the date of the birth of Isabel Gray). This can all be done automatically with a link to the document itself.One advantage of the Cumbre page is that you can place just about any text you want around the heading to make it stand out from other words in your document. You can do this by using quotation marks around the text, or by putting a period at the end of the heading. In the end, however, the style guide suggests that you use the second method, as it gives you a reference for the heading, which in turn aids in understanding your document.
