Reference Point Templates handle - Complex Page numbering (allows you to vary from APA style)

The APA Style Manual specifies very simple page numbering. However, some instructors might ask you to do the following:

• Lower case roman numerals for front matter
• Arabic numerals for the rest of the document
• No page number on the title page
• No page number on the first page of each chapter
• Page numbers at the top or bottom of the page

Our templates can handle just about any combination of page numbering requirements. We've made it very easy to format page numbers and even reformat page numbers.

Page numbering features of the APA Format Template:

• All of the below are optional settings, you don't have to be concerned with these choices if you need simple page numbering
• Put page numbers at the top or bottom of a page and even mix the position within the same document
• Use any style of arabic, upper and lower case roman numerals, upper and lower case alphabetic page numbers (e.g. a, b, c) and mix styles within the same document
• No page numbers on particular pages
• Restart page numbers from any page starting at any number or continue the numbering from a previous section.
• Page numbers either update themselves as you type or remain static. For example, if you set up chapter two to begin with page number 1 and you add pages to chapter one, then chapter two will still begin with a page number 1.
• You control the page number and header justification
• Page number and header justification can be adjusted independently of each other
• You control whether the page number is to the right or left of the header
• Change the page numbering style of any section you've already created

So if you instructor tells you to do this:

• No page number on the title page
• A preface starting with roman numeral ii at the bottom of the page
• An acknowledgment page continuing from the preface with roman numerals at the bottom of the page
• The body of the paper in arabic numerals, numbers at the top right with the first page of the body being page number 1. Your last name in the header to the left of each page number.
• No page numbers on the first page of each new chapter
• An appendix numbered A, B, C, etc. centered at the top of each page with your name right justified at the top of each page

Hey, you can do that! Our templates can handle that just fine.
