- NOTE: For most recent APA formatting, SEE: "APA v7 Basic Format in 5 Minutes" ( • APA v7 Basic Format in... ) for current APA formatting. This is APA v6 formatting.
Learn to write APA formatted documents in Word... in 4 minutes. This updated version corrects an omission in the original and includes the step-by-step instructions to copy or screen print.
The true mark of genius is simplicity. Thank you, sir.
This is EXTREMELY helpful! When teachers make this seem harder than it looks... This video is a lifesaver. Thank you! Your video helped a lot!
Yessssssssss
I have been using this video for over a year now! I have so many papers and all required in APA format. I never get dinged for it thanks to this video!!
You're welcome! Thank you for your kind words!
Colin, you have taken something seemingly complicated (and a little scary) and made it simple and thus, accessible. I can not thank you enough!!
THANK YOU!!!!
Honestly, I was afraid of just hearing the word A.P.A. style. You have indeed been a life saver with this video when I was in crunched time and really needed something now.
Thanks a million!
I was getting ready to fail in college until I came across this!! Thank you soooo much❤️
Me too
Me three
You are the MVP!! Thank you! Idk why other people feel the need to make long drawn out videos explaining APA when you were able to get straight to the point with it! Thanks!!
I REALLY appreciate tutorials such as this: simple, clear, and no wasted words. If only all tutorials were like this and didn't add their cheery, useless banter.
You're welcome! Thank you for your kind words!
This video currently helped me an insane amount since I am taking High School online right now while I am also in College. This college paper I thought was going to be insane and it took me 12 years to fully understand MLA and I am incredibly thankful that you are able to teach APA in a short amount of time. Thank you again your a life saver!!
You're really a saint for making this. I've had classes where the professors have spent entire class periods telling us how to do APA, and I learned more from this video than I did from all of those classes combined. All of the instructions were clear and to the point.
I slowed down the speed and worked as you talked, thank you for this video
I appreciate the straight, forward, streamline information contained, that omits the extra verbage that only distracts!!
Every semester we are tasked to write a paper...and every semester I'm looking up videos to help me remember how to do it lol. I will be bookmarking this video for sure. It was awesome. Thanks!
Thank you for making this easy to follow guide! This is a great resource for someone returning to university after being out of high school since '06. Thanks a million!
Omg heyyyyy fellow classmate of ‘06! Im returning to school as well and this was definitely a lifesaver! Happy studies!!
About to finish my degree and I have to thank you for this video. Every week I would use it just to make sure I was doing the right thing. Thank you!
One tip I would like to add is to use the vertical ruler on the left side of the page to help center the text on the title page. Your example only uses 3 lines on the title page, but if you need to add more lines, spacing down a random number of times could make the text not be centered vertically on the title page. Your explanation of running heads and page numbers are a life saver!
Don't forget to make the running head 12-point Times New Roman, too!
Colin, your video is a lifesaver for my students! Thank you very much for making it very quick, painless and digestible.
Widywati, you are very welcome. That was my intent in sharing it. It is short enough that my students can re-watch it when needed, and print-screen the steps at the end.
Thank You! I always forget APA is not terribly different from MLA, just a few things added.
I find myself coming back to this video every time i have a submission, thanks! Awesome vid!
Life saver. I wish everyone could be to the point and efficient in their teaching or videos. I learned more in this 4 minutes than my 2 writing classes.
Thank you Shahab. It was very kind of you to take the time to say this. Many of my students struggled; some with APA and some with Word. Ergo, i created this video to share with those needing the "Cliff Notes" of how to write in APA format.
This dude deserves a thumbs up! Very clear and to the point and I can't say how many times i've watched this video.
I’m writing my final Capstone paper because I’ll be graduating in May! Yay! I’ve used the steps in this video countless times in the last 2 years and I’ve sent the link to my classmates. You’ve really simplified the APA process for many students and elevated much of the stress associated with writing papers. So thank you for this video! 👍🏽
Thank you! Of the many heartfelt and supportive comments I've received for these videos, yours included both your progress and achievement. Your ongoing academic effort and ultimate success is what I hoped was happening to those using this video, and you are so kind to share it.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! "I'll be graduating in May!" is a fabulous achievement. I am so happy that this video was helpful!
This is super helpful, I watch this video before each of my assignments. Thank you.
Thank you! You are alive saver for any student. The way you teach is clear and easy to understand.
You're welcome! Thank you for your kind words!
Thank you Thank you Thank you. It's been 23 years since I've used APA.
Can I say that I love you? Like really... I love you. This is the most concise and helpful explanation ever!
Chideya, thank you for your kind comment on the v6 video. APA 7th edition (2020) has greatly simplified requirements for student papers. A new video th-cam.com/video/bTFo4C5BRAg/w-d-xo.html shows the new format. I hope that you find it useful.
Very short and explicit. I’m not a computer person but was able to quickly follow the steps and get my homework done
Came in handy. And in e mere 4 minutes. The voice was calm, unhurried and very patient. Well done!!
Thank you so much! What I thought was going to take me an hour only took me 20 minutes. Your the best!
Awesome! I dreaded this so much and you made it so easy! The word APA gave me a headache...so relieved! THANKS!
Thank you so much. My PSYC teacher is no help at all. She’ll tell me my format is wrong, give me 0s on my papers but won’t offer feedback on what to correct. You video is so helpful.
You're welcome! Thank you for your kind words!
Hey Colin, this has been extremely helpful over the years, but now they updated APA format to the 7th edition! I need your quick, easy, and helpful guide once again :)
Julius, thank you for your kind words! The 7th edition video should be out in the next week or two. I'd intended to add it in the late spring, but work has been busy, and I'm sorry for the delay.
Oh my effen god! Where was this the past year lol! This was the easy to understand. My school has all these tutorials and templates that are hard to understand and really don't make sense. I'm going to be using this every time I need to do a paper.
You're welcome! Thank you for your kind words!
Thanks for making video short and explaining each and every thing in detail as well
You're welcome! Thank you for your kind words!
I've learned more with this youtube video than I have in college. Thank you!
Whew...glad my instructor sent us this video to help with formatting! Thank you.
Honestly, my biology teacher is a savage, she is constantly drowning us with homework, and I did not know what to do. To be honest, I still don't know how I've made it this far. I've used this video twice now, and since I can't high-five you over the internet, I guess a "Thank you very much" will have to do. Cheers mate!
Thank you Burd! My students are often long-removed from academia, and the (required) APA format is simply another punishment for returning. This video was intended to simplify it for all of their classes, as well as those who find it on TH-cam. Watch for the new APA 7th ed. video (7th ed. has some dramatic changes) in the next couple of months... Thanks again, Colin.
Please put out more content!!! You are awesome!!! You left no questions
Thanks! You made understanding this process very simple. Thank You!
THANK YOU!!!! Total sanity saver!! Why does everyone else make it so complicated?? 😁
Thank you for this video. I teach Engineering Ethics and students have to write several APA papers and I use this video as a resource to help them with the formatting. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! I am very glad that it is helpful. Soon I will add a new video in similar format for the APA 7th ed. The changes include a simplified format for non-published (e.g. student) papers. I expect my students to be relieved by the changes, as am I.
@@colinmurphyed.d.3583 I recently made a video on common mistakes of APA formatting. I will take a look at your video too. Thanks.
This was very helpful. The simplistic way it was offered really helped.
Thank you for this! Exactly what I needed. Now time to type this final paper!
Bizzybee1, the current APA is version 7. It is much simpler than v6. That video is "APA v7 Basic Format in 5 Minutes" and this is the link to it... th-cam.com/video/bTFo4C5BRAg/w-d-xo.html Good luck on the final paper!
Thanks Had To Write 3 pages using this format not knowing what it is but this video really helped
PERFECT! To the point without fluff.
You're welcome! Thank you for your kind words!
Thank you for this easy to understand tutorial. You're a real hero!
Ayyyyyyy now I can pass this semester, thank you!!
Your awesome!!! that broke down better than anyone has showed me! eternally greatful :)
You're welcome! Thank you for your kind words!
So, for every new page you (center) then type the title for each page? like under the context of this example after page two lets say you wanna add another page of "content" do you continue to add the same title to each page after that until you reach the Refrences page. This is wonderful. Wish more teachers could break stuff down like this! cool!
Good question, and thank you for the kind comment. No, the title only appears on the title page, in the running head (in CAPS), and on the first content page. The remaining content pages just begin with your content. I hope that helps.
You helped me through my Master's program, thanks a ton!
You're welcome! Thank you for your kind words!
Apparently my professor expected me to magically know how to right in APA. Good thing this is here.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! You have save me soooo much time!
I got so used to using this format that I still use it 25 years later
Thank you so much, made my assignment way easier!!!
Thank you! The APA v7 format is even easier, for student papers. They simplified the header, standardized the title page, and basically made it just font, margins, header, and title page for student papers. Citations and references have minor changes. If interested, here is a "APA v7 Basic Format in 5 Minutes." th-cam.com/video/bTFo4C5BRAg/w-d-xo.html
What a GREAT demonstration. Valuable video that I have taken advantage.
Thank you! Very helpful, very clear! I am even using the web app version of Office/Word and therefore the locations of options is slightly varied. Still very clear!

High school teachers: ONLY USE MLA BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU'LL USE IN COLLEGE
Me, in college: Has never used MLA. only APA
Brady Shaver 😂 haha me too!
Well said! I have not used MLA since Backstreet Boys were in the charts.
Brady Shaver exactly man hahah
I've had only one or two professors require MLA and the rest of them require APA.
Very good information. Well use this.
This is SO helpful. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I noticed that even though you set the font as TNR, when you then entered the header, It was not in TNR. Do you have to go back and manually change that to TNR?
For me personally, yes I have to change it manually or else the heading goes into calibri
Very useful,thankyou so much👍
Very helpful but with one omission. The header should be formatted so that the font is the same as the body of the text.
I can't remember if I had said thanks, but THANK YOU!!!!
SO helpful, thanks a ton
