Follow these steps to create a new StyleEase document:

Windows users

Click the Windows Start button, then All Programs, and then click StyleEase.

Click APA Style Document (if you're using StyleEase for APA Style) or the appropriate document type if you're using a different version of StyleEase.

Select options for your document in the StyleEase Document Setup screen shown below.

MacOS users

In Word 2011, click New from Template in the File menu.

Click My Templates, and then select StyleEaseAPA (if you're using StyleEase for APA Style) or the appropriate document type if you're using a different version of StyleEase.

Select options for your document in the StyleEase Document Setup screen shown below.

Set up an APA, MLA or Chicago format paper

You should first choose which type of document you want to create, then select which pages to include, and finally, type in the title and running head you want to appear in your document. Note that this simply defines the initial layout of your document and can be changed at a later time.

Document Setup Options

The Document Setup screen options allow you to define the type of paper you want to create, title information, and which pages you want initially included in the document, as shown in the following table:

Document Type	Click one of these buttons to choose which document type you want to create: paper, term paper, thesis, or dissertation.
Pages to include	Select pages that you want included in your document. StyleEase preconfigures which special pages and lists to include for each document type, and most users do not need to make any changes in the initial configuration. Note: You can add or delete special pages and lists whenever you want.
Left Margin	Select whether you want to use the default left margin setting for your document (1" for papers and term papers, 1.5" for theses and dissertations that will be bound).
Title Page	Allows you to enter the title that you want shown on the title page of your document. You can change this at any time.
Running Head	Allows you to enter the abbreviated "running head" title that you want shown in the upper right corner of each page. You can change this at any time.

Note: The options described above are from the StyleEase for APA Style product; other products are similar but not exactly the same.
