Thank you so much. I had purchased a program to make all of this easier but it was harder and more time consuming than your short and sweet tutorial. I had my doc. open, watched your video, stopped the video, followed your directions, watched your video for more directions and continued on in that fashion. You just walked me through the whole thing. Thank you so very much!
I am a professor that uses and grades APA stringently -- This was one of the best tools I have seen--I will require my students to use it in the future.
I have been a social work student for 3 years, and i always get counted off on my papers because no one ever taught us how to. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this!!!! you just saved my college education and my grades!
I can't thank you enough. I just spent hours trying to figure out how to format my APA paper. Wish I had found this before I turned in my paper. You explained so many things that I could not figure out.
I write many APA formatted papers and always use this video for reference. It has helped me a great deal. Thank you for providing us with an easy to follow and understand tutorial!
WOW.. I finally got those page numbers to work after watching this video.. Thank you so much! 2010 is so different than 2003, and I was about ready to give up!
my professor asked us to use this format for a business class i dont know how it pertains to the assignment but this made it all make sense thank you alot
wow!!! thank you so very much! I'm just started working on my BA in psych and you just took a whole bunch of blahblahblah that i was hearing on my universities tutorial and actually made sense of it to me, in 12 minutes at that. Can't wait to watch more of your videos as im sure i'll need to
Thanks Terry. I used headers all the time in my lecture notes but never knew how to change the header of one page to be different than the other pages. This came in handy as I have to write APA style papers from now on in my nursing program.
You can save any other preferred settings the same way you set these. I think saving this particular style as a Word template is a good idea, especially if you will often have other projects using other styles.
This was very helpful and I thank you for that. I loved that you gave the option of having closed caption even though the caption was very off in some places (one part it read to italicize my cargo pants). But loved that you were thinking of those with difficulties with videos.
That was totally awesome. Thanks so much for clarifying the set up of an APA document. I lost 10 points on a paper because I didn't have the paper set up correctly. Now maybe I won't
Thank you so much for the tutorial, very helpful because I never heard of APA style so you can imagine I had to jump on youtube quick. Again Thanks for this video,
So, I'm more than a little late on this, but the reason is that you're probably manually typing the page number. If you click insert on the ribbon and select page number (just like he does in the video) that should give you an automatic page number in your header. Also, make sure when you copy and paste to use the "keep source formatting" option.
Yes this video helped me out so much. Everytime I tried to create the header the page number would delete or the number wouldnt change on the second page. So thank you very much!!
Thank you very much. Was still not able to figure out references, but I have a handle on doing it my own special way. I really just needed the running head since my teacher is not requiring it. Bleh. This video was really helpful. Thanks a lot.
You can put acknowledgements in the Author Note (see APA pp. 24-25). No, you don't put "and" between multiple parenthetical citations (see APA p. 178).
Thank you for your quick response and detailed answers. I have another question, since I set these APA settings as my default for my future documents. How can I clear these settings once I'm done using APA format. Will saving the APA rules format as a template be a good Idea because I did that as well.
@sararginorio The running head is just an abbreviated form of your title. It is a maximum of 50 characters (including spaces), so just pick 2-3 relevant key words that make sense. It's not really important. It just needs to be related to your title, but a shorter form of it. That goes at the top, flush left, and the page numbers are flush right. It's for whoever reviews your manuscript to be able to keep the pages of your paper together, in order, without getting it mixed up with others
@kpopsubfanforever Yes, the Word 2007 design is almost identical to the Word 2010 design. The "File" tab at the top left of Word 2010 is actually the 4-colored-squares icon at the top left of Word 2007. That's the only difference I can think of.
You mean "At:"? Leave that blank. The settings "Single", "Double", and "1.5 lines" are all shortcuts for "Multiple" where "At:" is specified as "1", "2", or "1.5" respectively. If you want something between 1.5 and double spacing, you can specify "At:" as something like "1.7" and you'll notice that the "Line Spacing:" choice automatically changes to "Multiple"
You need to use first-line indentation in the actual Text, but not the Abstract or Title Page, so that's why I didn't set it in that particular part of the paper.
@inherimage Dude, I am so glad you did this video, the 6th edition have extra point like author's notes and conclusion, but I will place that with the body. I have to have visual and audio learning, you did a great job. Thanks a lot I was clue less with my online class references.
Useful tutorial. I have a question for you, and others. I wan to add a comment on the margins of a Word document. I used to be able to do this on Word 2003 by clicking 'Insert' and 'add comment'. However, I have just started to use Word 2010. Here, I'm struggling to find that feature that would enable me to mark students' assignments with comments on the side. Thank you so much in advance for your advice.
In the Paragraph setting in the Indents and spacing. After selecting double for the line spacing next to that in the box that says "ALT" do I leave that Blank. Thank You
@appolo4040 This is how I remove them: Go under that page that you don't want and click near the top (not in the header) and hit backspace until you enter the next page up. The page on the bottom should disappear.
@danescott1962 I didn't actually set it at that point in the video because I think I was still typing section labels, which are centered, not indented. But when you actually start typing your regular text, that is how you set indentation to First Line, and yes, it should be by 1/2 inch (0.5").
@inherimage: In your video you mention that the running head is limited to 50 characters. Does this include the characters "Running Head:"? or does the 50 characters pertain to the header characters AFTER that? I really appreciate your help.
Is there a way to set reference in Word 2010 to follow correct format for APA 6th edition? I was using this tool to keep all my references but discover that it actually was not following the APA format for references correctly. Thanks for any help!

THANK YOU! An entire semester of Psych 210 failed to teach me what you just taught me in under 20 minutes! You're the best!!!!

currently enrolled in my first online course working towards my BSN. Two words for you Mr. Jorgengensen - THANK YOU :)
This is by far the best instructional on APA using MS Word 2010.
This is by far the best APA formatting help video that exists today. Thanks so much!
Best and most simplified Instructions on APA formatting I have come across ever.
This is the best instructional video on APA format in TH-cam.
Have an apa style format research due tomorrow, and this practically saved my life! Thank you!
WOW.. I finally got those page numbers to work after watching this video.. Thank you so much! 2010 is so different than 2003, and I was about ready to give up!
my professor asked us to use this format for a business class i dont know how it pertains to the assignment but this made it all make sense thank you alot
I am becoming a digital native at last. Thanks to tutorials like this one. Thanks!
Thank you so much for explaining this, I was beginning to regret purchasing Word 2010, but now I understand!
wow!!! thank you so very much! I'm just started working on my BA in psych and you just took a whole bunch of blahblahblah that i was hearing on my universities tutorial and actually made sense of it to me, in 12 minutes at that. Can't wait to watch more of your videos as im sure i'll need to
Wow!! I need to do my research paper tonight and i was completely lost with APA style until i saw your video :) Thanks a lot!
Step by step instru even down to the ref page. Outstanding !! Thank you!
Thanks Terry. I used headers all the time in my lecture notes but never knew how to change the header of one page to be different than the other pages. This came in handy as I have to write APA style papers from now on in my nursing program.
Working on a paper for graduate studies, thanks for the help! :) I really wish I had youtube earlier in life!
You can save any other preferred settings the same way you set these. I think saving this particular style as a Word template is a good idea, especially if you will often have other projects using other styles.
Even though im usually the one helping people on TH-cam im glas to see it can help me out just as much in return thanks inherimage!!
This was very helpful and I thank you for that. I loved that you gave the option of having closed caption even though the caption was very off in some places (one part it read to italicize my cargo pants). But loved that you were thinking of those with difficulties with videos.
How could someone not like this? I think some people cant stand seeing a perfect rating for any vid smh....
really helped me out man. . . thanks a lot. . . LOVED how you went nice and slow so I could follow along.
this was really helpful better than how my teacher thought me
That was totally awesome. Thanks so much for clarifying the set up of an APA document. I lost 10 points on a paper because I didn't have the paper set up correctly. Now maybe I won't
Thank you so much for the tutorial, very helpful because I never heard of APA style so you can imagine I had to jump on youtube quick. Again Thanks for this video,
@SolidSnake3131
Yes, the main body, or Text (see APA pp. 229-230 for list of sections, and details on APA pp. 23-30 or so) starts on the third page.
it's a summary of your manuscript, and you can read more about what goes into it from pp. 25-27 in the APA manual
You really saved my life the last minute ❤️ I appreciate this video you shared .
Thanks a bunch
In 1.15 seconds I knew everything. Thanks!
i have only used MS word 2003 and was not used to word 2010 but this helped so much and made things so much easier THX!

I was getting my arse kicked by that title page header. Thank you for the tutorial man!
Thank you very much. Was still not able to figure out references, but I have a handle on doing it my own special way. I really just needed the running head since my teacher is not requiring it. Bleh. This video was really helpful. Thanks a lot.
Thank you!!! You just saved my life! I saw other videos but i was all confused! :) Thank You!
Thank you! Thank you... it is so nice of you to take ur personal time n do this for every1... god bless you.
THANK YOU! How this only has 1 thumbs up (mine) I will never know. Maybe all you viewers have broken thumbs and are disgusted by the "thumbs up".
You've really helped me complete this paper with confidence. Thanks for your awesome video.
wow that is a lot to catch on so fast but well needed thank you
You can put acknowledgements in the Author Note (see APA pp. 24-25). No, you don't put "and" between multiple parenthetical citations (see APA p. 178).
Thanks so much. Your tutorial saved me a lot of time.
Thank You very much for going over this; this has helped me a bunch...
have a couple papers coming up that use this style of writing and im going in them green. . .very helpful vid, thanks!!!
Thank you so much. I have struggled with APA but you made it very easy to follow :)
Thank you for your quick response and detailed answers. I have another question, since I set these APA settings as my default for my future documents. How can I clear these settings once I'm done using APA format. Will saving the APA rules format as a template be a good Idea because I did that as well.
This was an awesome tutorial! So explicit and very, very helpful! Thanks so much!

Extremely helpful and concise.
Awesome Video! I am subscribing to you immediately so I don't lose this video.
This was sooo super helpful! Thank you for posting this!
EXTREMELY Helpful!! Thank you so much for posting!
@jennyguevel
the 50 character maximum refers to the actual running head, not the words "Running head:"
Great instructional video, thanks!
I found this VERY helpful! Thank you!!!
You mean "At:"? Leave that blank. The settings "Single", "Double", and "1.5 lines" are all shortcuts for "Multiple" where "At:" is specified as "1", "2", or "1.5" respectively.

I LOVE THIS. THIS HELPS ALOT
The only problem I have is the widow control. I do as instructed here but when I go back in, it is checked again.
Thank you upon thank you my brother. Man, you really helped me.
Great tutorial!

Wonderful! Thank you so much
Awesome vid man!!!! Thanks!!!
Also, should I write title and then the title like you did? or just the title?
@danescott1962

See quotation formats on pp. 170-171 in the manual. If you're professor wants something besides APA style, then don't ask me, ask your professor.
thank you very much -kush evans
@ProfessorGerdes
Glad I could help! :-)
I am having the same issue. Everything else worked beautifully until I got to that step. What are we doing wrong?
what do you mean when you say key words? What should I type in it? My title is Hypertrophic cardiomyophathy
@danescott1962
You're welcome, I'm glad it's helping more people than the ones in my small psych program
Thanks.... This is AWESOME!!!!
@inherimage:
In your video you mention that the running head is limited to 50 characters. Does this include the characters "Running Head:"? or does the 50 characters pertain to the header characters AFTER that? I really appreciate your help.
you saved me life

Is there a way to set reference in Word 2010 to follow correct format for APA 6th edition? I was using this tool to keep all my references but discover that it actually was not following the APA format for references correctly. Thanks for any help!
@inherimage-
would you keep the word 'Abstract' at the top of the second page?
