Answer 1

APA - 12pt Time New Roman Font

Running head: TITLE OF YOUR PAPER
Looks like ^^^^ that ( pay attention to which are the lower case letters & which are upper) on the first page. The page header (called the Running Head in APA will be a summary of your paper's title using 50 characters or less, including spaces & punctuation.

On the pages AFTER the first, the title will look like: TITLE OF YOUR PAPER
in the header space.

Put the entry FLUSH LEFT in the header area of your paper. The page no. will go flush right on the first page. This means that you will have to go to the VIEW menu (pull down) in Word for Mac 2011 to deal with header& footer formatting. If you're using iWork09's Pages, go to your inspector (it's the i on the upper right). The first icon is 'documents' set up your H&F there. The next icon is Layout. Set up your page numbers there.

Put the pot of coffee on & Good Luck. :-)
