Title of Paper
Begin typing the first paragraph ½ inch from the left margin. Use the Tab key, not the spacebar, to indent paragraphs. Maintain double spacing throughout the paper, never more and never less except for tables and figures, if necessary for readability. For other formatting details, see Introduction to the APA. You will also find guidelines for APA headings there. Use the booklet's index to locate information.
If you are not writing an introductory paragraph, you can begin your first heading immediately after the title of the paper. Be sure to use APA style headings consistently and logically. Also, be sure to insert page breaks when you need to force a break within a page in order to begin a new section (such as the reference page) that should begin at the top of a new page. Do not press the Enter key repeatedly to force a new page.
