If you need to write a paper that uses APA 6th style, consider beginning with a pre-designed template. Remember that you must use the APA manual to verify that the template is designed correctly.
You can also configure the word processor by editing the default style. Any well-designed template can save lots of time, so that you can concentrate on the document content.

- Apple iWork Pages - http://www.michaelhanscom.com/eclecticism/2010/10/28/apa-6th-edition-paper-template-for-apple-pages-iwork/Note: Do not worry about saving the template with the other Pages templates. After you have saved it, for example in the Documents folder, it will be available from your pick list to open.
- Microsoft Word for the Mac - use the same website as noted for Apple iWork Pages.
- Apache OpenOffice - http://templates.openoffice.org/en/template/apa-6th-edition-paper-template-1
Note: There are a couple of errors on the template that are easily corrected. First the title page does not show a course name, instructor, or due date. It should show the title of the paper, the author name, and the institutional affiliation (APA, 2011, p. 23).
The first paragraph of the abstract should NOT be indented.
The paragraph headings need to be edited. See page 62 of the APA manual.
- Google Drive Docs - there are many templates, but I was unable to locate one correct formatting. One of the limitations of Google Docs is that the page header is the same for all pages.
