Default MLA works Cited Page

When using references tab on the ribbon I find that using the MLA style in
bibliography drop-down is incorrect. The Works Cited page is formatted in
wrong font (Calibri) correct font is (Times New Roman). Also, the wrong size
font (11) should be (12) and the title Works Cited is not centered.

How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Default MLA works Cited Page

Hi Perry,

The content of the Bibliography or Works Cited entries are driven by the 'Style'choice you make in
References-Citations & Bibliography

The appearance of the samples in the Bibliography Gallery are just that, samples. They're not, as such, incorrect, just formatted
differently than your (or your schools) choices for formatting for your paper. The samples are formatted with Word formatting
styles and the appearance does not vary based on the use of MLA or other bibliography layout style.

The heading is from the current values for 'Heading 1' from the active Quick Styles set in Home=Styles.

The content text is from the 'Bibliography' formatting style.

You can modify those two paragraph formatting styles
(Heading 1 & Bibliography). One method is to click on the launcher at the bottom right of Home=Styles then click on the 'Manage
Styles' button then select and [Modify] each of the styles.

Another method is to use Home=Styles=Change Styles and select a different font pair, or a different Quick Style Set (put a 'Works
Cited' entry into a test document and try out different combinations) to see if there is already a combination built in that suits
your needs.

You can also modify your sample then save it as an addition to the Bibliography gallery samples and use that sample to meet your
needs.
Click on the top left of an inserted Bibliography in your document that is formatted as you want then click on the Bibliography
gallery and choose
'Save Selection to Bibliography Gallery'.
