APA Style Table of Contents
The instructions below will show you one way to set up an APA Table of Contents that auto-
matically updates page numbers for di˜erent level headings. These instructions show how to
make a Table of Contents after you’ve written some of your document – it is ideal to make
your Table of Contents early in your writing process. Note: These are instructions for Word
2010.
1. In order for the Table of Contents to automatically adjust to di˜erent headings, you must
ÿrst manually set the Styles for APA Levels of Heading. From the Home tab, under the Styles
section of the ribbon, right click on “Heading 1” to select “Modify.”
2. Set to meet APA Levels of Heading formats. Rename
the Style APA 1 (or a similar title that easily indicates the
style). Alter the font style to match the style you are using
throughout the text (usually Times New Roman), font
size, bold/italics settings, alignment, and spacing. Refer to
the APA Levels of Heading handout on the uc.edu/awc
website for information about how to style each level.
Repeat this step for Heading 1 – 5, modifying each head-
ing number to correspond with APA levels 1 – 5.
