How You Do It

  1. Scroll through your document to the location for your Appendixes.
  2. For each appendix, do the following:
    1. Begin the page heading by typing the word “Appendix” and the relevant letter at the top of the page
      • When there are several Appendixes, label each with a letter, not a number (e.g., Appendix A, Appendix B).
      • If you include only one Appendix, omit the letter.
    2. Follow the label with a colon, and add the specific name of the appendix. For the example in the sample report in the textbook, the specific name is “Appendix: Clinical-Staff Questionnaire.”
    3. Center the page heading on the page.
    4. Skip a blank line.
    5. Add the content of the appendix (e.g., the questionnaire and its results).
  3. Review the section and make any additions or changes, using the information from the textbook and LinkedIn Learning video as needed.
  4. Go through the body of your report and ensure that all references to your Appendixes are labeled correctly with the letter and specific title.
  5. Move on to the next part of your report that you want to work on.
