The Dr Paper Word templates include Styles that make it easy to conform to APA rules for the way body text, quotations, and section headings should look. Take a moment now to practice a bit with these Styles. You can delete your practice text before you begin typing your paper:

1. Type a few nonsense sentences. This text is BODY TEXT; it is 12 point Times New roman, double spaced, as it should be for an APA or MLA Paper (there is also a template with Times New Roman, if you prefer that font. Both are acceptable for APA or MLA papers).
2. Press Enter so that the cursor is on a blank line
3. Click Format, Styles to display the Style dialog. Click the Style called Heading 1.
4. Type the word Method, and press Enter.
5. Type another sentence. Notice the Style returns to BODY TEXT.

Use the built in Styles for Section Headings, Quotations longer than 40 words, Body text, and to make sure the Reference List is formatted correctly.
