Detailed explanation-1: -Indent the first line of each paragraph of text 0.5 in. from the left margin. Use the tab key or the automatic paragraph-formatting function of your word-processing program to achieve the indentation (the default setting is likely already 0.5 in.).
Detailed explanation-2: -Margins should be one inch in all directions (top, bottom, left, right). The proper font size is 12-point font; the acceptable font type is Times New Roman. All type should be set flush with the left margin, creating an uneven right margin (NOT justified).
Detailed explanation-3: -Use 1-inch margins on every side of the page for an APA Style paper. However, if you are writing a dissertation or thesis, your advisor or institution may specify different margins (e.g., a 1.5-inch left margin to accommodate binding). This guidance is the same as in the 6th edition.
