Creating Templates Using APA Style  Why bother? This is a way to make sure that you are following APA, without having to “re-create the wheel” each time you write a paper.  Save yourself time & effort!  Focus on developing your IDEAS rather than conforming your paper to APA!  Get less corrective feedback around APA style on your papers (whether they are for a grade at UNM or have been submitted for publication)!

How to start?  Get out your APA Manuals!  p has several important formatting guidelines  The font style should be _______.  The font size should be _______.  The spacing for the whole paper should be _______.  The margins should be _______.

Re-set the Defaults  Open a new Word document & let’s re-set the defaults so that they match the APA requirements!  Go to the “Format” drop-down menu at the top of your screen &  Select Font—what do you need to change?  Select Paragraph—what do you need to change?  Select Document—what do you need to change? Go to the File menu, and select “Save.” Name your file APA Template.

Include the Elements of APA Papers  On p in the APA Manual are the major sections that should be included, as well as elements specific to each:  Title page Running head & page numbers  Abstract Running head & page numbers  Main body of the paper Title  References

Title Page  To add a running header, double-click on the top margin of your document; you will see the “header” of your paper appear.  Click on the “Header/Footer” tab (next to “Home”)  Check the box next to “Different First Page”

Title Page  Type -- Running head: PAPER TITLE (Note the case!)  To add page numbers, click on the “Insert” drop- down menu at the top of your screen.  Select “Page Numbers” (alignment should be right, and “show number for first page” should be checked).  For both running head & page numbers, change the font to Times New Roman, 12-pt.

Title Page  Mid-way down the page, type your paper’s title using “title caps”  This is a Sample Title Using Appropriate Capitalization  Center your title by click on the “Home” menu, and selecting the “Center Text” button.  Under your title, type your name.  Under your name, type your affiliation  University of New Mexico  Nothing on your title page should be in bold font!

Abstract  After typing your affiliation on the title page, click on the “Insert” drop-down menu.  Select “Break”  Select “Page break”  Type the word Abstract on this page.  This should be centered, and not in bold font.

Abstract  To EDIT your running header, double-click on the top margin of the second page of your document (the page your abstract is on); you will see the “header” of your paper appear.  Click on the “Header/Footer” tab (next to “Home”)  Check the box next to “Different First Page”  Delete the text “Running head:” that appears before your ALL CAPS TITLE Go to the File menu, and select “Save” again!

Main Body of Document  Click on the “Insert” drop-down menu.  Select “Break”  Select “Page break”  Type your title on this page.  This should be centered, and not in bold font.

References  After typing your affiliation on the title page, click on the “Insert” drop-down menu.  Select “Break”  Select “Page break”  Type References on this page.  This should be centered, and not in bold font. Go to the File menu, and select “Save” again! When you start a new paper, open up your APA Template file & select SAVE AS -- this will allow you save the file WITH A NEW NAME & not over-write your template!
