Your Full Title of Your Paper

Hit the tab key one time to begin the main body of the paper. Although the abstract is not indented, the paragraphs of the main document are indented. The computer will wrap your text for you based upon the margin settings established by this document template. It is not necessary for you to hit the enter or return key at the end of a line of text. Only hit the enter key (one time) when you reach the end of a paragraph.

Then hit the tab key to indent and then continue typing the paper. In APA any source that you use in your paper must have an in-text citation. In APA these citations include the author’s last name and the year of the publication in parentheses (Barrett, 2002). If the source you are using does not identify an author, use a shortened version of the source title rather than the author name (“E-Portfolios for Education,” 2006).

This is your introduction. It doesn’t have a heading that says “Introduction,” but this is it. You may go on for several pages, but when you get ready for the next section, “Method,” you don’t start a new page.

By the way, APA 6.0 supports five levels of headings. There are different and more sane than previous editions of the style guide. (Enough said.) I have set the heading styles in this document to correspond with those heading levels 1 through 5. The next heading is a Heading 1. It will be followed by a Heading 2.
