How do I set up an APA title page?

Basics of formatting an APA title page in Word

Like the rest of the APA paper, the title page has 1-inch margins on all sides and should be double-spaced.​ 

An APA title page has six required elements, each placed on a separate line and centered:​

• Title of the paper​:

  • All major words capitalized

  • Bolded

  • Positioned in the upper-middle of the page (hit Enter 3-4 times)

  • Hit Enter twice so there is a blank line between the title and

• Author name​ (your name)

• Affiliation, or name of the college ​

• Course number: Course Name​

• Name of the instructor​

• Date the paper is due​
