Add Headings in APA Style (Microsoft 365)

In the video below, Keri demonstrates how to set up and format headings in your APA style paper.

APA Style Headings

• If your paper has more than one paragraph, you will likely want to include headings. The first heading will likely be Introduction and the last heading will likely be Conclusion. The headings in between are up to you, based on the content of your paper.
• In APA 7, headings are bolded and written in Title Case, where all major words are capitalized.
• For most college writing, you will probably only need the first level of headings to describe the major sections of your paper (and maybe the second level for subsections inside of your first level headings).
