Struggling with APA style page numbers? You're not alone! This simple guide will banish your numbering woes and keep your paper APA-compliant.
**Where to Start:** Every page, including the title page, needs a page number. Numbering begins on the title page as page number 1.
**Placement is Key:** Numbers go in the upper right-hand corner of the page header. Set your word processor to automatically insert the page number. This will save you tons of time and prevent errors.
**Font Consistency:** Keep your page numbers in the same font and size as the rest of your paper (usually Times New Roman, 12pt).
**Student vs. Professional:** While there used to be differences, the 7th edition of the APA Style Guide aligns formatting for both student and professional papers. Easy peasy!
By following these simple steps, you'll conquer APA page numbering and focus on what truly matters: your awesome research!
