How to make a summary in ABNT standards

Assembling everything “by hand” can be a long job and with the risk of forgetting a subchapter in the listing. Therefore, the best way to summarize the ABNT standards is to use the automated tool in Microsoft Word or Google Docs.

For the tool to work, you need to configure the style formatting of academic work titles and subtitles.

1. On the toolbar, click on “Panel Styles”;
2. Click on “Header 1” and select “Edit Style”;
3. Change the style to Arial or Times New Roman font size 12;
4. Set formatting to bold, color black, justified, and spacing 1.5;
5. Repeat for “Heading 2” to be used in subtitles.

Titles must be capitalized (all caps), while subtitles use only capital letters.

How to format heading style in Google Docs

To leave the academic work within the ABNT guidelines in Google Docs, you need to adjust the style formatting of the headings in the text editor.

1. Select a title from the text body;
2. Choose Arial or Times New Roman font in size 12;
3. Format in bold, black, justified and with 1.5 line spacing;
4. On the toolbar, click “Styles” and find “Header 1”;

According to the ABNT policy, the word “Summary” must be formatted in 12-character, capitalized, bold, and centralized alignment.

Once you’ve configured the formatting of heading and subheading styles and correctly identified these elements along the text, you can automatically assemble the table of contents via Google Docs.

1. Return to Summary page;
2. Click “Insert” in the top menu;
3. Click “Summary” and choose a style option.

Change the word “Table of Contents” to 12-point font formatting, with all-caps, bold, and center-aligned.

The Auto Table of Contents identifies and lists the headings and subheadings defined by the style formatting and matches these elements to the pages in which they occur. If you change the list of titles in your TCC or monograph, you can click on the automatic table of contents and update the information.

Remember to do proper typesetting of your scholarly work to assemble the abstract. I wait how to number pages in word and also how to put the number of pages in google docs inside the ABNT rules.
