I'm a freshman at Tarleton State and never heard of APA. The way you explained it help me understand how its suppose to look. Thank you for this video!

Great stuff! I used to find it a bore, too. But, your professors will appreciate it, and if you are submitting your work to a peer-reviewed journal you will appear more professional than those that don't bother.

Thank you for this video, I'm currently in an IT class where we're focusing on APA formatting. She's extremely vague when "teaching" us anything or giving feedback. This helps so much to see exactly how to do this.

You don't deserve a beer only. Honestly, you deserve more than that. In my religion, drinking and offering beer/wine is a big sin, so can pay you the equal cost of a beer if you promise me that with that money, beer/wine will not be purchased. I extend my apology if any of my word or comment hurt you or any other reader as i have no right to decide about others what to drink and what to not. Beer/wine hurts our liver, so i wish you and readers of this comment a healthy and happy life.

After looking at your video on how the functions to the functions on Word 2007. It has given me a better insight on how to do APA research papers now. Thanks for the upload CognitiveControl.

This was very helpful for me to set up a fresh document. I have a few comments. APA 6 now requires the DOI when available (ex., doi:xxxx.xxx.xxxx/xx) or the "Retrieved from" + URL on anything retrieved electronically. Most of my undergraduate professors and all of my graduate school professors demand it. Also, in the reference section, it's easier (and more reliable) to set the paragraphs with a hanging indent, rather than force indent each line after the first. It is a rare reference that only fits on one line.

For anyone having trouble with making a different header on a second page due to it being synced. Go back up to your first header, click on it to be able to edit it, under the "options" section that's located right under the "green design tab", check "Different First Page". That way, when on your second page, you can edit your header without it being synced to the header on the first page.

Thank you for taking the time to share this video, the only thing I can say is the "H" in "head" is suppose to be lower-case
@JimGrange.6 жыл бұрын
Correct. But if you come across someone so pedantic as to pick you up on that (be it an editor or a teacher marking you) then you are going to have bigger problems than your capital "H"s :)

LOL - I only noticed because a classmate got points off on an assignment we just had in a masters program, because the "h" was not lowercase.

For the hanging indents for references there is an option in Word. Go to the paragraph button (used to set line spacing), then "line spacing options", then under the first "special" box there is "Hanging" -Stephen
