Directions - Typing Template for APA Papers

This is an electronic template for papers written in APA style (American Psychological Association, 2009). The purpose of the template is to help the student set the margins and spacing. Margins are set at 1 inch for top, bottom, left, and right. The type is left-justified only—that means the left margin is straight, but the right margin is ragged. Each paragraph is indented five spaces. It is best to use the tab key to indent, since five spaces on the computer is different from five spaces on a typewriter. The line spacing is double throughout the paper, even on the reference page. Two spaces are used after punctuation. The font style used in this template is Times New Roman and the font size is 12, which is now required in APA 6th edition.

When you are ready to write, and after having read these instructions completely, you can delete these directions and start typing. The formatting should stay the same. However, one item that you will have to change is the page header, which is placed at the top of each page along with the page number. The words included in the page header should be reflective of the title of your paper, so that if the pages are intermixed with other papers they will be identifiable. When using Word 2003 at a minimum, double click on the words in the page header. This should enable you to edit the words. You should not have to edit the page numbers.

In addition to spacing, APA style includes a special way of citing resource articles. See the PPT attached in this assignment or an APA manual for specifics regarding in-text citations. The APA manual also discusses the desired tone of writing, grammar, punctuation, formatting for numbers, and a variety of other important topics. Although the APA style rules are used in this template, the purpose of the template is only to demonstrate spacing and the general parts of the paper. The student may need to refer to the APA manual for other format directions. A sample reference page is included below and includes special spacing and formatting. The examples are taken directly from the APA manual.

Abstract (not required for this paper)

An abstract is a brief, comprehensive summary of the contents of a paper (American Psychological Association, 2001) that runs a maximum of 120 words. It should contain a synopsis of the points in the paper, but also be readable and well organized. To use this page of the template, simply delete this paragraph and start typing. The formatting should stay the same.

First Heading (Introduction or Title of Paper)

The heading above would be used if you want to have your paper divided into sections based on content. This is the first level of heading, and it is centered and bolded with each word of four letters or more capitalized. The heading should be a short descriptor of the section. Note that not all papers will have headings or subheadings in them.

Second Heading (Body of Paper)

First Subheading

The subheading above would be used if there are several sections within the topic labeled in a heading. The subheading is flush left and bolded, with each word of four letters or more capitalized.

Second Subheading

APA dictates that you should avoid having only one subsection heading and subsection within a section. In other words, use at least two subheadings under a main heading, or do not use any at all.

Conclusion

Wrap up major points in a few sentences.

References (Examples)

Each reference must be used as an in-text citation.

The first word only in a title is capped, as well as proper nouns (U.S., Smith, etc.). In the references, italicize either the title of the article or the source, not both.
