Don't forget to indent the second one tab when it wraps to a second line.

For about $30 you can download Perrla and it will give you a template that you use with Word. It is easy to use and does a lot of the work for you. You'll still need an APA manual for tricky items, but I found Perrla worth its weight in gold when I was a student.

I use this cite when introducing APA and MLA styles to my students because it's very informative.
