How to Write in APA format on Microsoft Word 2016

 A new blank word document should be open to begin.

 First: Entering Proper Running head

o In order to enter the running head you must double click on the top of the blank

document.

o Once, you have double clicked, you will enter the header.

o In the header, make sure to click on “different first page” (located at the top, in

the design tap) so this title won’t be repeated on following pages, just the first.

o In the header, you want to insert the page number aligned to the right of the

document. In order to do this you must click on the insert tap above

o Then click page number

o Then click on “top of page”

o Then click on the “Plain Number 3” option. Once this is done correctly, you will

see the page number align to the right of the header.

o When the page number aligns to the right, then begin to type Running head:

TITTLE OF THE DOCUMENT. The title of the document should be in all capitalized

letters.

o Once you have finished typing the running head, you must then click the tab

button on the keyboard until it is aligned to the left of the page. If you go too far

you can either click the backspace button on the keyboard or the undo button at

the top left of the screen.

reach the middle of the page.
