How can I set up my computer for APA format?
Answer
To create a Word document that is in APA format and then use that document every time you need to write a paper, follow these steps:
- Go to the APA Help guide
- Click on Student Paper Template (Word).
- Save it to your computer
- Every time you want to use it, open this document--and before typing anything-- go to "Save As" and save a new copy with the title of your paper/project.
- Then type in the new copy.
For more information on APA formatting, go to the APA Help guide and click on the Formatting Checklist.
