Page Numbers

Page numbers can be inserted automatically in most word processors. In APA, page numbers should be placed in the top right of every page (including the title page). Like the rest of the paper, page numbers should also be in 12pt Times new Roman font. The font size and style may need to be changed after the page numbers are inserted.
