The first tag in your html. document is <html>. This tag tells your browser that this is the start of an html document. The last. tag in your document is </html>. This tag tells your browser that this is the end of the html. document. The text between the <head> tag and the </head> tag is header information. Header information is not. displayed in the browser window.
There should also be 1-inch margins on all sides of the document. To create 1-inch margins, you will: 1  Click the Page Layout tab. 2  In the Page Setup section, click on Margins.. 3  Choose the first option, which is to create 1-inch margins on all sides of the paper.o double-space the paper, you will: 1  Highlight any text that you have typed thus far (skip this step if you have not begun yet). 2  Click the Home tab or the Page Layout tab. 3  In the Paragraph section of either of those tabs, click the tiny arrow in the bottom right corner.
The following are just a FEW of the most important rules. For more information, check out the manual (make sure you get the 6th edition) and/or go to the APA website. Format: All papers should be double-spaced throughout, (including the reference section) with one inch margins all around. Do not add extra lines between paragraphs or sections. The font should be 12 pt and you need to use a serif type style (with the hooks and curly-cues), such as Times or Courier. All paragraphs should be indented half an inch, NOT five spaces. Only one space should be added between the period at the end of a sentence and the first letter of the next.
