 I'm going to show you how to set up your seventh edition APA style research paper using a Mac computer. The seventh edition of APA is really simplified the paper setup, but it's a little more involved for the title page itself. So first, we need to change our font, Times New Roman, 12 point font. Mine's already on 12 points, so I'm just changing it to Times New Roman. Next, we need to make the entire paper double spaced. So up here under Format, you can select Paragraph, and then under Spacing, you'll see Line Spacing. That's where you can change it to Double Spaced. Next, we need to put in our page numbers. So once again, if you go up to the top, you select Insert Page Numbers. We want it to be in the header. We want it to be on the right-hand side, and we want to show the numbers on all the pages. After that, we're going to do our title page. The title is in what is called proper title case format, meaning we always capitalize all the major words. The first word of the title is always capitalized. The first word after a colon and any proper noun should be capitalized. The title is going to be centered on the page, and it's going to be in bold face font. And we don't want it at the very top. We're going to press Return three times to move it down just a little bit. And you're going to write the title of your paper. The title of your paper should be descriptive of what you are going to show your reader in the text of your paper. Next, I'm going to press Return twice to add one extra space between the title and my name. I'm going to take off the bowl, and then you would type your full name next. If you are working with a group to turn this in, and you would write everyone's name after that, and you can alphabetize that by everyone's last name. I'm just going to leave my name for the moment. Next, you're going to type the department of whatever department that the paper is being written for. The Department of Nursing, Department of Psychology, whatever it is. After that, you're going to do a comma, and then the name of the institution. I did a colon. Next comes the course number, and then a colon, and then the name of the course itself. After that is your professor's name. You want to spell their name right, so you might want to look this up, and give them the proper title. So if they go by doctor, use doctor rather than professor. After that comes the date for which the paper is due. I'm going to spell out the month always, and then the day, comma, and the year. That's it for the title of the paper. Next, we're going to go into the text of the paper. I'm going to copy my title because we need to write that one more time down below. So if you do insert, page break, it'll take you to the second page. And then if I do command V, I can paste my title at the top, centered, and bold one more time. To start writing your paper, you're going to move your cursor over to the left-hand side, and you would tab over to start writing your paper. The last part that you need to format is your reference page. After you write your paper, once again, you're going to insert a page break to go to a fresh new page, and you're going to title this centered at the top in bold face font references. After you do that, you can align it back to the left and take off the bold face font, and then you can copy and paste your references in alphabetical order, or type them up.
