How to write an APA format paper in Google Docs using a template or other built-in features
- You can write an APA formatted paper in Google Docs using its built-in tools or a template.
- The basics of APA 7 format include double-spaced lines, a running header, and a title page — all of which can be done in Google Docs.
- Google Docs' templates page includes pre-made APA 6 and APA 7 documents you can use as well.
While some students write in MLA format, others write in APA format. APA — short for American Psychological Association — is a standardized format for writing academic papers, especially in the fields of sociology, psychology, and other behavioral or social sciences. It has specific rules for what your essays should look like, and how they should be structured.
APA format has changed a few times over the decades (right now we're on APA Seventh Edition, or "APA 7"), but the basics have stayed the same. And no matter which version of APA format you're using, you can set it all up using Google Docs.
Here's how to make an APA essay in Google Docs, either manually or using a template.
Like other style guides, APA format has a variety of rules and standards. Here are the most important guidelines for structuring your paper, along with tips on how to meet those guidelines in Google Docs.
- The font needs to be readable and consistent.
APA isn't strict about what font you should use, or even what size it should be. It just needs to be legible, and you need to use the same font throughout your entire paper (with exceptions for figures, computer code, and footnotes). Some common choices are 12-point Times New Roman, 11-point Arial, and 11-point Calibri.
You can change your font and font size using the toolbar at the top of the screen. If you're trying to change text that you've already written, just be sure to highlight it first.
- Your entire document needs to have one-inch margins and double-spaced lines.
All Google Docs documents have one-inch margins by default, so you probably don't need to worry about that. If you want to double-check or change them anyway, you can change the margins using the Page Setup menu or ruler feature .
Meanwhile, you can enable double-spacing with the Line & paragraph spacing menu in the toolbar above your document. Highlight all the text in your document, then select Double in this menu to turn on double-spacing .
- Every page needs a header with the paper's title in the top-left, and the page number in the top-right.
Google Docs lets you add headers to any page. You can add automatic page numbers through the Insert menu , and then double-click the header to add your title on the left if needed.
Remember that they need to be the same font and font size as the rest of your paper.
- Your paper needs a title page with your name, paper title in bold, "institutional affiliation," and more.
Probably the most important part of an APA paper is the title page. It needs to include the paper's title in bold, your name, and your "institutional affiliation" — the school or organization that you're writing for. If you're a student, you also need to add the course number and name, your instructor's name, and the due date.
All this information should be centered in the upper-half of the first page. You can find Google Docs' alignment options in the toolbar at the top of the page. Highlight your text and select Center align in this menu to center everything.
- Your paper should end with a References page, and each entry should be written with a hanging indent.
The last section of your paper is the References page. Make sure to put it on a new page (or pages, depending on how many you have to cite).
The word "References" should be centered and bolded on the very first line of the page. You can center the words using the alignment options mentioned above, and bold it by clicking the B icon .
List all your references in alphabetical order and use the ruler to give each one a hanging indent — in other words, every line after the first needs to be indented .
Your citations need hanging indents, which you can make with the ruler tool. Google; William Antonelli/Insider
How to use google docs' apa format templates.
While you can format your paper manually, Google Docs also offers two different APA templates — one for APA 7, and another for APA 6. These templates will let you meet most of the APA guidelines right away, but you'll probably still need to change some of it.
To use one of these templates:
1. Head to the Google Docs homepage and click Template gallery in the top-right.
2. Scroll down the templates page until you reach the Education section. In this section, click either Report [APA 6th ed] or Report [APA 7th ed] .
3. A page will open with an APA format paper already written in fake Lorem Ipsum language. Most of the formatting is there, so you just need to replace the pre-written words with your own.
You can find these templates in the mobile app by tapping the plus sign icon in the bottom-right, and then selecting Choose template .

- Frequently Asked Questions
If you use Google Docs for academic writing, then you'll likely need to be familiar with APA format. While you can use a Google Docs template , it also helps to know how to set up APA format in Google Docs manually, too.
Instructions in this article apply to the web version of Google Docs. The steps are the same for all web browsers and operating systems .
Your instructor might have specific requirements, but most papers in APA format should include the following:
- Double-spaced text with no extra spaces between paragraphs.
- Size 12 Times New Roman font, or a similarly legible font.
- One-inch page margins on all sides.
- A header that includes the title of your paper and the page number.
- A title page that includes the title of your paper, your name, and your school's name.
- Body paragraphs begin with a 1/2 inch indent.
- A References page at the end of the paper.
- In-text citations for specific quotes or facts.
The Google Doc APA template includes headings that you may or may not need. For example, your instructor might not require a 'Methodology' or 'Results' section. The American Psychological Association's website has the official guidelines for APA style .
How to Use the APA Template in Google Docs
Google Docs offers several templates that automatically format your documents. To set up the APA template in Google Docs:
Open a new document and select File > New > From template .
The template gallery will open in a separate browser tab. Scroll down to the Education section and select Report APA .
If you need to set up MLA format in Google Docs , there's also a template for that.
A new document will open containing dummy text in APA format. With the proper formatting already in place, you just need to change the words. If there are sections you don't need, delete them.
How to Do APA Format on Google Docs
Since the template can be a little confusing, you should understand how to set up APA style in Google Docs step-by-step. Once you format your paper, you can save it to use as your own personal template for the future:
Change the font to Times New Roman and the font size to 12 .
Google Docs uses 1-inch margins all round by default, so you don't need to change the margins.
Select Insert > Headers & footers > Header .
You can easily change and remove headers on Google Docs at any time.
The font for the header will revert to the default, so change it to 12 point Times New Roman and type the title of your paper in all caps.
You can use a shortened version of your title if it is particularly long.
Select Insert > Page numbers > Page count .
Move the text cursor to the left side of the page number and press the spacebar or tab key until it is aligned with the top-right margin, then check the box under Different first page .
The text you entered will disappear from the first page, but it will appear on subsequent pages. Type Running head: followed by a space, then type your title in all caps.
Type the number 1 , then move the text cursor to the left side of the page number and press the spacebar or tab key until it is aligned with the top-right margin.
Make sure the font is set to the same font as the rest of your text.
Click or tap anywhere below the header, then select Format > Line Spacing > Double .
Alternately, select the Line spacing icon in the toolbar at the top of the page and choose Double .
Press the Enter key until the text cursor is about mid-way down the page and select Center Align .
Type the paper’s full title, your full name, and your school’s name on separate lines.
Select Insert > Break > Page Break to start a new page.
Select Center Align and type Abstract .
Press Enter , select Left Align .
Select Tab to indent, then type your abstract.
Google Doc's default ident of 0.5 inches is appropriate for APA format.
Select Insert > Break > Page Break to start a new page, then press the Tab key and begin typing the body of your paper. Begin each new paragraph with an indent.
You can set custom indents in Google Docs using the ruler tool.
When you're finished with the body of your paper, select Insert > Break > Page Break to create a new page for your references.
At the end of your paper, there should be a separate page that begins with the word “References” (without quotation marks) centered below the heading. The appropriate format for each reference depends on the type of source. For instance, use the following format to reference articles found on the web:
- Author last name, first name (year, month day). Title. Publication. URL.
So, an online news article can be referenced as follows:
- Kelion, Leo (2020, May 4). Coronavirus: UK contact-tracing app is ready for Isle of Wight downloads. BBC News. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-52532435 .
Your references should be alphabetized by the author's last name, and each entry needs a hanging indent , which means that every line after the first one is indented.
APA style also requires in-text citations. Follow all facts or quotes with a citation in the format (Author last, publication year, p. #) after the quote or before the sentence's end punction. For example:
- (Atwood, 2019, p. 43)
You can omit the page number if you're referencing an entire work.
The American Psychological Association website has more examples of references in APA style .
Select Insert from the Google Docs menu bar, followed by Table . From the pull-down menu, choose the number of rows and columns for your table (1x1 minimum, 20x20 maximum). Remove all vertical lines in the table by selecting them, then select the Border Color tool and choose a color that matches the table background. Do the same for the horizontal lines, except when those lines are needed for data clarity. Type the number of the table (in bold) above the table, then type the table's title in title case (and in italics) below that. Include any relevant notes below the table.
Change the formatting of citations that have already been written to APA by selecting Tools from the menu bar, followed by Citations . A citation format sidebar will appear on the right side of the screen. Select APA from the drop-down menu to have Google Docs change your citation format accordingly.

5 Things I Never Back Up to the Cloud
Google search's most controversial feature goes global, spectrum just raised its prices again.
If you find yourself creating the same outline of a document over and over again, you can save yourself an immense amount of time with a template. Here's how to create custom-made templates in Google Docs.
Although Google Docs does offer a wide range of templates to choose from for free accounts, they don't cater to everyone's needs. To create a custom template you can reuse multiple times, you'll have to use this little workaround to generate them.
Fire up your browser, head to your Google Docs homepage , and open a blank document, previously made document, or one of Google's pre-made templates.
Now that you've got the bones to your document set for your template, rename the file to something that has the word "Template" in it. Click the filename, rename it to include "Template," and then press the "Enter" key when you finish.
Next, click on the folder icon next to the filename and click the "New Folder" icon to create a new folder for Google Docs templates.
Give the new folder a name and click the checkmark to create it.
After you create the folder, click "Move Here" to save the template into your Google Docs template folder.
This folder can now be the new home for any and all templates you create in the future. This is also a great way to keep everything in your Google Drive neatly organized and easy to find for all members of your team.

When you want to make a copy of your template, you can access them directly from Google Drive. Head on over to Drive , look for the folder you just made for templates, and double-click on it.
Because this is a template file that you'll be using multiple times, you should make a copy of the file before entering any information into the file. Right-click on the template and select "Make a Copy" to duplicate the template file.
The copy of the template saves into the current folder with the prefix "Copy Of." From here, you can double-click on the copy to open it, rename it, or move it to another folder altogether.
If you open the document or if someone sends you a template file, click File > Make a Copy to duplicate the template to your Drive.
Name the file, choose a location for it in your Drive, and then click "OK" to save the document template.
That's all there is to it. If you want to share your template with others, you can create a "Make a Copy" link and send it in an email or share the file directly with a shareable link .

5 Quick Google Doc Design Tips for 2024
Once you've found your perfect Google Doc template, you’ll need to customize it with your own styles and content. Here are five quick Google Doc design tips that'll help you create an outstanding Google Doc in 2024:
1. Experiment With Font Weights
Add hierarchy to your text. Make it more visually appealing by combining two different fonts.
2. Mind the White Space
White space is crucial if you want to leave a professional impression. It refers to the space around different elements on the page. It gives your entire design more room to breathe.
3. Change the Layout
Who said your documents need to follow the standard portrait layout? Experiment with layout and switch to landscape mode. This is a great way to stand out from others and inspire your own creativity at the same time.
4. Add Custom Colors
Do this by clicking on the Text or Highlight tool and clicking the + sign at the bottom. Then enter your own hex color codes and save them to be used in your document.

No matter what kind of Google Doc template you’re using, your document needs to look modern and professional. That’s why it’s a good idea to keep up with design trends. Rest assured all your Google Doc designs will look trendy.
Here are five professional Google Doc design trends. Use them to keep in mind while you’re designing your document:
1. Color Overlays Are In
Make your document photos more interesting by adding a color overlay. This will help your text stand out against the photo on top of giving you another chance to use your brand colors.
2. Explore Abstract Shapes
Spice up your documents by adding abstract shapes to highlight headings or callout elements in your documents.
3. Bright and Bold Colors Make Your Documents Pop
This year make use of bright and bold colors to make your documents stand out. Use them as backgrounds or in calls to action. Either way, your documents will surely stand out and make a lasting impression.
4. Images Don’t Have To Be Square or Circle
If you’re adding images to your documents, remember they don’t have to be strictly square or circle. Use more abstract shapes to add more visual interest both to your photos and the document itself.
5. Opt for Bold Typography

5 Benefits of Using Premium Google Docs Templates With Pro Design (In 2024)
Still not sure if you should buy premium Google Docs templates?
You may be tempted by Google Docs templates for free download, but your best choice is premium templates. Here are five reasons why you need to use premium Google templates in 2024:
- Templates increase flexibility. Templates increase flexibility. Update them easily. They also provide consistency. If you need to make changes to the design, easily do so and start making changes based on a professional design
- Consistency. When you design a document yourself, you may use fonts, colors, or certain pages that don't quite match the Google Docs design or don't belong. By starting with a professional template you'll have a consistent design that'll make your document look uniform.
- Saves Time. Designing documents can be time-consuming. Hours and hours can be poured into a design that might not even look good. Leave the design work to the professionals and focus on what's most important: the actual content of the document.
- Can Be Recycled. Just because you use the template once, doesn't mean you've got to put it in your trash can. Chances are you'll need to create another document that's like the one you created. By reusing the template, you can get right into filling out the document. All the premium templates are fully customizable. So, make minor or major changes to the document if you want to make it different than the previous one.
- Ensures Accuracy. We’ve all done it. We've sent off a document that's got missing information. Use the pre-determined structure of the Google Docs templates to make sure you don't forget to include any necessary information.

College Essay Format & Structure | Example Outlines
Published on September 24, 2021 by Meredith Testa . Revised on May 31, 2023.
There are no set rules for how to structure a college application essay, but you should carefully plan and outline to make sure your essay flows smoothly and logically.
Typical structural choices include
- a series of vignettes with a common theme
- a single story that demonstrates your positive qualities
Table of contents
Formatting your essay, outlining the essay, structures that work: two example outlines, other interesting articles, frequently asked questions about college application essays.
You should keep the formatting as simple as possible. Admissions officers need to work very quickly, so fancy formatting, unnecessary flourishes, and unique fonts will come off as more distracting than individual. Keep in mind that, if you’re pasting your essay into a text box, formatting like italics may not transfer.
Your essay will be easier for admissions officers to read if it is 1.5- or double-spaced. If you choose to attach a file, ensure that it is a PDF.
You don’t need a title for your essay, but you can include one, especially if you think it will add something important.
Most importantly, ensure that you stick to the word count. Most successful essays are 500–600 words. Because you’re limited in length, make sure that you write concisely . Say everything that you need to express to get your point across, but don’t use more words than necessary, and don’t repeat yourself.
Prevent plagiarism. Run a free check.
Once you’ve finished brainstorming topics but before you start writing, think about your writing’s trajectory: how you’ll start the essay , develop it, and end it .
Do you want to organize it chronologically? Would you prefer to make a “sandwich” structure by introducing a topic or idea, moving away from it, and then coming back to it at the end? There’s a variety of options (and a pair of strong examples below), but make sure you consider how you’d like to structure the essay before you start writing.
Although you should organize your thoughts in an outline, you don’t have to stick to it strictly. Once you begin writing, you may find that the structure you’d originally chosen doesn’t quite work. In that case, it’s fine to try something else. Multiple drafts of the same essay are key to a good final product.
Whatever structure you choose, it should be clear and easy to follow, and it should be feasible to keep it within the word count . Never write in a way that could confuse the reader. Remember, your audience will not be reading your essay closely!
Vignettes with a common theme
The vignette structure discusses several experiences that may seem unrelated, but the author weaves them together and unites them with a common theme.
For example, a student could write an essay exploring various instances of their ability to make the best of bad situations. A rough outline for that essay might look like this:
- In a rehearsal for a school play when a lighting fixture malfunctioned and the set caught fire, I helped extinguish it.
- To help the situation, I improvised fixes for the set and talked with the director about adding lines referencing the “disaster.”
- I didn’t get into my first-choice high school, but I became class president at the school where I ended up.
- When I had ACL surgery, I used the downtime to work on my upper body strength and challenged my friends to pull-up contests.
- How these qualities will serve me in college and in my career
Single story that demonstrates traits
The narrative structure focuses on a single overarching story that shows many aspects of a student’s character.
Some such essays focus on a relatively short event that the author details moment by moment, while others discuss the story of a longer journey, one that may cover months or years.
For example, a student might discuss trying out for a sports team as a middle schooler, high school freshman, and high school senior, using each of those instances to describe an aspect of their personality. A rough outline for that essay might look like this:
- Confident, there to have fun
- Very passionate and in love with the sport
- Little sister was born that day, so I had to go alone with a friend’s parents
- Learned to be independent and less self-centered
- Realized that as much as I love gymnastics, there are more important things
- Gave up first homecoming of high school, had to quit other activities, lost countless hours with friends
- I had to repeat level 9 and didn’t progress quickly
- I had a terrible beam routine at one competition the previous year and still had a mental block
- I got stuck on some skills, and it took over a year to learn them
- Passion from age 7, perspective from age 11, diligence from age 15

There are no set rules for how to structure a college application essay , but these are two common structures that work:
- A montage structure, a series of vignettes with a common theme.
- A narrative structure, a single story that shows your personal growth or how you overcame a challenge.
Avoid the five-paragraph essay structure that you learned in high school.
Your college essay’s format should be as simple as possible:
- Use a standard, readable font
- Use 1.5 or double spacing
- If attaching a file, save it as a PDF
- Stick to the word count
- Avoid unusual formatting and unnecessary decorative touches
You don’t need a title for your college admissions essay , but you can include one if you think it adds something important.
