Creating the Header for APA
In the 7th edition of APA, they have separate format for "student papers" that doesn't require a full header. Instead, it only requires the page number to appear in the top-right corner of each page.
Use the following directions to set up your paper with a page number in this format using Microsoft Word. Also, check out our sample paper to see an example
- Insert Header – Click the “Insert” tab.
- Click "Page Number" from the Insert menu.
- Then select the "Top of Page" option,
- Then "Plain Number 3" (the one on the right side of the page).
