A Cover Page for submission to a journal? That is a separate document from the actual manuscript.

I assume by “revised” you mean the 2nd printing that fixed all the typos from the first printing. None of the rules changed from the first printing to the second printing; they just had to fix the examples that didn’t match up with the rules.
But yes, these are APA 6th edition rules, and I only refer to the second “revised” printing.

Could you please tell me if this video has the revised APA 6 style? My university is insisting we use the revised edition. Thank you so much for posting this video.

I’m a Nursing student at Duke University. I am in my final semester and wish I had found this during my first. The header/footer mystery has finally been solved thanks to your video. I struggle with it each time I begin a new paper and this made it so simple. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Thank you SO much for this! I have been searching everywhere on how to format APA format or Macs and was not helped. The header was the biggest issue I had…thank you again.

You’re welcome. I didn’t actually set the indentation to First Line at that point because I wasn’t about to type into a regular paragraph. Headings and labels are centered (APA p. 62, p. 41…), and you don’t want to have indentation when centering text.

@3:42, you say that APA requires “…left, and first line indentation”, but you did not choose ‘First line’ under ‘Special:’. Am I missing something or do you correct this later in the video? All I know is I got to the third page, and had to start over b/c my indentions weren’t the same as your’s. By the way, thank you for the video.

6th ed. of APA manual specifies on p. 229 you must use Times New Roman 12-pt font throughout your manuscript. Only exception is within figures, where they say it is more aesthetically appealing to use a sans serif font like Arial.
