Class,

There was a question posed about some APA 7th edition options that are not specified in the new

APA Manual, such as the font needed. I have attached the table below from the DBA Handbook

that provides clarity on options so that there is consistency among our program. This also ensures

we are all using the same format so that items such as page counts are uniform.

1.1.1 GENERAL FORMATTING GUIDELINES

ELEMENT SPECIFICATIONS Font – main text Times New Roman, 12-point

Font – footnotes

Times New Roman, 10-point

Margins (all pages, including those with tables and figures)

Left: 1 ¼ inches (to allow for binding) Top, right, bottom: 1 inch

Justification

Left: justified Right: ragged (not justified) No hyphenation at the right margin

Spacing (lines)

Double-space all pages, including the Abstract, except for the following (which should be single-spaced):

Headings, subheadings, and table or figure captions exceeding one line in length; Table of contents entries exceeding one line in length (double-space between entries); Footnotes (although individual footnotes are single-spaced, double- space between each separate footnote if more than one appears on a page); Long, block-indented quotes or narratives; List entries (double-space between numbers);
