Hanging Indents References List

After your essay, the last section is the References list. This is where you list all your sources alphabetically,

and follow strict APA citation guidelines. APA calls for double line spacing, and requires hanging indentation.

A hanging indent is where the first line of an entry extends out to the left margin, and the rest of the entry is

indented.

To set up your References list:

1. Type and center: References

2. Press enter to move cursor to the next

line. You may need to align the line to the left by clicking on the left align button located in the Paragraph group in the Home tab.

3. Click on the down arrow in the

Paragraph group.

4. Under the Indentation section, select Hanging from the

Special menu.

5. Click OK.

6. Start typing your citation entries following APA

guidelines. Not sure about the format? Contact your professor or librarian. 5quotesdbs_dbs17.pdfusesText_23
