What is an APA running head, and how do I create one in Word?
NOTE: Unless your instructor specifically requests it, the running head is no longer required per the APA 7th Edition Manual. Please refer to the Page Header webpage of the APA Style Blog for more details.
If your instructor indicates that you should include a running head, or if you are writing a professional paper for publication, refer to the following resources.
1. There is an excellent article titled Running Head Format for APA Style Papers on the APA Blog that is all about running heads and how to work with them in Word. 2. You can read more about formatting an APA Style Header in MS Word on the Microsoft Community pages.
