MS Word Resources: Running Heads/Headers/Footers

APA 7 now no longer requires the running head in student papers. For more on the APA 7 updates, review the Writing Center's APA Style: APA at Walden page. 

The page number in the top right-hand corner of the page is still required. For help with inserting and formatting page numbers view the MS Word: Page Numbers resources. 

For more help: 

• Visit the Academic Skills Center for APA Formatting for Microsoft Word Tutoring
• Have questions? Ask OASIS.

Still want help with Headers/Footers?

Microsoft Support offers resources on Inserting a Header or Footer. If you would still like to review the process for creating a running head or different first page header, Microsoft Support's Change or Delete a Header or Footer on a Single Page resource provides a brief tutorial.
