Today we’re going to be talking about setting up pages for an APA style paper.
According to the APA manual, all papers following this style need to be typed on 81/2 x 11 plain paper. The paper should be double-spaced and include a one-inch margin around its entirety using a 12 point New Times Roman font.
So each page will be typed using 81/2 by 11 formatting. The body of the paper will be double-spaced and contain a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides and be typed with black, 12 point New Times Roman font.
