Setting up the format for an APA style paper

• Begin by setting your cursor at the first, beginning space of the first page of your paper and creating all of your margins at 1”. You do this by going to File>Page Set Up>Margin Tab and set at 1 inch for all 4 sides, Top, Bottom, Right, and Left.

• To set spacing to true Double: First, highlight the entire document text, or choose Select All. Then go to Format>Paragraph>Indents and Spacing Tab and in the box that says Line Spacing: select Double from the pull down menu. Make sure the ‘before’ and ‘after’ boxes are set at 0 pt, and not at Auto. Double Space throughout the document and see rules in APA Publication Manual, 6th Edition. APA is about saving space… no gaps or quadruple spacing, so the document is consistent and easy to read.

• The font is Times New Roman, 12 pt. Use the same size and typeface throughout, including the paging and Running heads.

(REMOVE THIS INSTRUCTION PAGE WHEN SUBMITTING PAPER)

Start your introduction here. APA sixth edition does not use a heading title for the introduction because its position in the paper identifies it as the introduction. Open your paper with a foreword to introduce your case. Provide a general description of your selected case, a legend for the speakers (such as S - student, M - mother, T - teacher) and any other presenting information that provides helpful context. Be sure to describe the client and conceptualize the presenting problem in language that indicates your understanding of the student and the presenting issues. Base your conceptualization on theory.

The introduction should be anywhere from one to three paragraphs. All paragraphs of your paper should be double-spaced. The margins in this template have been set to one inch on all sides, and the running head and automatic page numbering has been set up for your convenience. Remember to indent paragraphs in each section.

Do not consider this template to be the final word on writing your paper or APA style and formatting. Be sure to explore and consult the Capella Graduate Online Writing Center – APA Style and Formatting page and the Capella Graduate Online Writing Center for detailed information.

For the Transcription assignment, you are required to use a minimum of five (5) references. The references should include peer-reviewed journal articles, textbooks, or books by theorists.

Above are a few reference examples. A complete set of guidelines on how to format your references can be found in your APA 6th edition manual on pages 193-224. The formatting style is unique to the type of source – please follow the formatting guidelines.

To set up the reference section, center the title, References 1” from top of paper.

Then, to set up hanging indents for the reference section, put your cursor on the first line where the first reference will begin and highlight the references. Select Format, then Paragraph, then select the menu that says Indents and Spacing, select the menu box that says Special and choose Hanging. Then set the box that says by at 0.5”. Keep the line spacing set at double, which gives double spacing both between each individual reference and within each reference.
