Using the template
You are now ready to begin using your template. The first time you open your template, immediately go to File, Save As. Name the file working title of your paper. Click Save. This will allow you to type your paper into this template without changing the original template.
When you are finished writing your paper, you will need to format your references.
Formatting your references
APA rules require that the second line and subsequent lines of your citation be indented 5 spaces.
To create this hanging indent, click the arrow in the lower right corner of the ParagraphPanel.
 
In the Indentation area, select the Hanging option from the Special drop-down list.
The “By” box automatically reads 0.5", which means that Word automatically hangs and indents the paragraph a half-inch.
 
Click “Ok”
Your citations should now format correctly.
