Adding in APA running head and page numbers inward a tutorial in two minutes. The header goes at the top left. Page numbers go at the top right. Every page of your paper needs a header and page number, but the title page is different than all following pages. The title page is always page 1 and has the words running head. The next page is where the body of your paper begins. Page 2. The heading at the top left has dropped the words running head, leaving only the title of your paper in all capital letters. Microsoft Word can do this work for us. Start on your title page. On the insert menu, click page number, top of page, then play number 1. On the design ribbon, check the box next to different first page. This will make the number 1 disappear. Type running head, colon, your title. Press the tab key twice and type the number 1. Highlight the title and page number and change it to Times New Roman font in 12 point by using the home ribbon. Scroll to your second page. Type the title of your paper in all capital letters. Press the tab key twice. Change the font and size to Times New Roman 12 again from the home ribbon. Now close the header and footer by clicking close header and footer. Scroll to double check your pages, all have the title and page numbers correctly placed, numbered and formatted. Questions need help? Just ask us. We're here to help.
