Professor Jorgensen, we appreciate you taking the time to show us this...Got a question. When go on "file" and then the page set up to have microsoft word and I go back to the file to check, it will revert back to what it was, even after I have saved it or set it as default. Any ideas on how I can get it to stay that way?

@tweety52bird1

Without seeing it happen, I'm can't be sure why it happens. What are you trying to set in Page Setup that isn't saving?

[aCentreThinker]

you think they'd make an APA one-click format option by now

@aCentreThinker

Once you've set this up the first time, you can save it on your computer as "APAtemplate.docx" and use it for every paper you start.

PLEASE HELPP im using mac but my microsoft doesnt have a ribbon, how do i get it!!!!????!!!!??!!

@PiaAangel2000

If you don't have a ribbon, you probably don't have a recent version of MS Office. They introduced the ribbon in 2007/8, so 2004 and before won't have it. Are you sure it's MS Office? Evern if there is no ribbon, all features are still available in the regular menu at the top of the screen, you just have to look for them.

Thank you very much for this. It was very helpful.

[mattunger]

Thank you so much! I have been a graduate student for a little over a year and still have minor troubles with formatting along the way, this just cleared those problems up for me! Greatly appreciated!

how do i insert a cover page?

@richhlhs

A Cover Page for submission to a journal? That is a separate document from the actual manuscript.

Thank you, your video is great!

[moelou123]

Could you please tell me if this video has the revised APA 6 style? My university is insisting we use the revised edition. Thank you so much for posting this video.

@moelou123

I assume by "revised" you mean the 2nd printing that fixed all the typos from the first printing. None of the rules changed from the first printing to the second printing; they just had to fix the examples that didn't match up with the rules.

But yes, these are APA 6th edition rules, and I only refer to the second "revised" printing.

I'm a Nursing student at Duke University. I am in my final semester and wish I had found this during my first. The header/footer mystery has finally been solved thanks to your video. I struggle with it each time I begin a new paper and this made it so simple. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[SKIPPAK]

okay, please start from the beginning....can I use pages? keynote? do I need to purchase something else?

[taraj0214]

Thank you SO much for this! I have been searching everywhere on how to format APA format or Macs and was not helped. The header was the biggest issue I had...thank you again.

[mrkkinman]

This is HUGELY helpful and informative. Many, many thanks for posting it.

[L3Gutierrez]

when I open Word 08, it shows a formatting palette instead of the stuff under the stuff. help?

[envigado5]

Thanks a bunch for this information! You saved my life! =)

[xblabla2u2]

This was by far the best tutorial I've seen. Very simple to follow. Thank you!

[kristi2374]

Thank you so very much! :-) You are the best!

[kristi2374]

@3:42, you say that APA requires "...left, and first line indentation", but you did not choose 'First line' under 'Special:'. Am I missing something or do you correct this later in the video? All I know is I got to the third page, and had to start over b/c my indentions weren't the same as your's. By the way, thank you for the video. ;-)

@kristi2374

You're welcome. I didn't actually set the indentation to First Line at that point because I wasn't about to type into a regular paragraph. Headings and labels are centered (APA p. 62, p. 41...), and you don't want to have indentation when centering text.

[blusight]

My sincere thanks for uploading this vid. You have been of great help!

[dennisa25]

thank you so much for the clear instructions!!!

[Overstreetalo]

what font did you recommend?

[inherimage]

@Overstreetalo -

6th ed. of APA manual specifies on p. 229 you must use Times New Roman 12-pt font throughout your manuscript. Only exception is within figures, where they say it is more aesthetically appealing to use a sans serif font like Arial.

And which operating system (OS X 10.4 or higher)?
