The basic formatting guidelines:

• 12 point font in TIMES NEW ROMAN script.
• Double Space it Corrine!
• Put  a header in with page number flush right and title to the left.
• There are four major areas in an APA formatted paper: Title page, Abstract, Main Paper, References.

 

TITLE PAGE

Put your HEADER in (title (to the left) and numbers (to the right)).

• Go to insert and near the bottom click header
• Make sure you have the title in CAPITAL LETTERS (only in the header).
• Go to insert and click page number
• Make sure the page number is flush right.

The Title Page Set Up (In this order):

1. The title of the paper needs to be in capital and lowercase letters
2. Your full name
3. The school you attend
4. Centered
