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 heading number to correspond with APA levels 1 ? 5.
