Student Paper Setup Guide, APA Style 7th Edition

This guide provides instructions for setting up an APA Style student paper in 3 sentences: It outlines the basic formatting requirements like using 1-inch margins, double spacing, aligning text to the left margin, and indenting the first line of each paragraph, as well as inserting page numbers in the top right corner on every page including the title page. Annotated diagrams illustrate how to set up the major sections of a student paper such as the title page, text, tables and figures, and reference list. The guide notes that default settings in programs like Microsoft Word and Google Docs already comply with many APA Style requirements but some adjustments may need to be made.

7th Edition

Student Paper Setup Guide

This guide will help you set up an APA Style student paper. The basic setup directions apply to the entire
paper. Annotated diagrams illustrate how to set up the major sections of a student paper: the title page
or cover page, the text, tables and figures, and the reference list.

Basic Setup
Seventh edition APA Style was designed with modern word-processing programs in mind. Most default
settings in programs such as Academic Writer, Microsoft Word, and Google Docs already comply with
APA Style. However, you may need to make a few adjustments before you begin writing.

• Margins: Use 1-in. margins on all sides of the page (top, bottom, left, and right).
• Font: Use a legible font. Many fonts are acceptable, including 11-point Calibri, 11-point Arial, 12-
point Times New Roman, and 11-point Georgia. The default font of your word-processing program
is acceptable.

• Line spacing: Use double-spacing for the entire paper (including block quotations and the reference
list). Do not add blank lines before or after headings. Do not add extra spacing between
paragraphs.

• Paragraph alignment and indentation: Align paragraphs of text to the left margin. Leave the right
margin ragged. Do not use full justification. Indent the first line of every paragraph of text 0.5 in.
using the tab key or the paragraph-formatting function of your word-processing program.

• Page numbers: Put a page number in the top right corner of every page, including the title page or
cover page, which is page 1. Student papers do not require a running head on any page.
