Format an APA paper correctly. The following guidelines will help you prepare a manuscript using APA style.

Set up a header on each page, one-half inch from the top. The header should include a brief title (shortened to no more than fifty characters) in all capital letters and should align left. Page numbers should appear in the upper right corner.
Margins should be set at one inch on all sides of the paper.
Check with your instructor to see if a title page is preferred. If so, at the top of the page, you need the short title you’ll use in your header, in all capital letters, preceded by the words “Running head” and a colon. The page number appears on the far right. Next, the full title of your paper, your name, and your affiliation (or school) appear in the middle of the page, centered.
If you include an abstract for your paper, put it on a separate page, immediately following the title page.
All lines of text (including the title page, abstract, block quotations, and the list of references) should be double-spaced.
Indent the first lines of paragraphs one-half inch or five spaces.
Use block quotations for quoted material of four or more lines. Indent block quotations one inch from the left margin.
When you document a paper using APA style, you’ll need to create an alphabetically arranged references page at the end of the project so that readers have a convenient list of all the books, articles, and other data you have used in the paper or project.
