Instructions: In DC Connect, open the “Project 1 Starter” file and save as YourFirstName YourLastName Project 1, i.e.
“Karen Minacs Project 1”. Your job is to turn this starter file into an APA formatted paper using the attached guidelines
“Word APA Template.docx” and “APA Writing Style Sample Paper.pdf” as a reference. This paper must adhere to APA
guidelines using the correct margins, font, font size, line spacing, paragraph spacing and indent throughout (including
table of contents, anything in the header or footer and references!). For your convenience, the project starter file has many
areas highlighted to identify important parts of the document. Green highlight indicates a Level 1 Heading, Yellow
highlight indicates a Level 2 Heading and Blue highlight indicates bullets are required, Red highlight indicates where a
citation should go. All questions worth 1 mark unless indicated otherwise.

Apply Heading Level 1 to Green and Heading Level 2 to Yellow paragraphs. Do NOT modify the existing Heading 1
and 2 styles. However, I would suggest that you use them to create your new styles. When naming the new styles use
the following “Your_Initials Heading L1”. For example, I would name my Heading Level 1 and 2 “KM Heading L1”
and “KM Heading L2”. Note: Remember that both Level 1 and 2 headings must be double spaced and have NO
paragraph spacing. Once all your headings are complete, please remove the highlight. {5 Marks}
4. Create a new style based on the normal style that complies with the standard paragraph of an APA paragraph. Name
this new style “Your_Initials Normal”. For example, I would name mine “KM Normal”. (I’m looking for line spacing
and indents but do NOT use any paragraph spacing). Apply this new style to all standard paragraphs of this paper.
