The computer will wrap your text for you based upon the margin settings established by this document template. It is not necessary for you to hit the Enter or return key at the end of a line of text. Only hit the enter key (one time) when you reach the end of a paragraph.

Then hit the tab key to indent and then continue typing the paper. In APA any source that you use in your paper must have an in-text citation. In APA these citations include the author’s last name and the year of the publication in parentheses (Name, Year).

Level 2 Header use: Flush Left, Bold, Title Case Heading

Sub-section your essay using sub-headers in the same sequence you introduced your topic in your lead paragraph, your thesis.

Level 3 Header use: Flush Left, Bold Italic, Title Case Heading

The more lengthy or complex your essay, the potential for using additional Level Headers; notice the subtle difference. One tip for any submission, always double-check the font choice is consistent throughout the essay.

Conclusion
