Questions About Customizing APA Format

[baker-jr-john]

First, I appreciate your helping others format their reports in APA style. I have a few questions and would appreciate your assistance:

1. Is there a way to suppress the title in the header on every page?

2. Can the page number on only the first page be suppressed?

3. Is it possible to suppress the author's note?

Please let me know if there's a more appropriate place to post these questions. I appreciate your help!

I just added the ability to suppress many aspects of the title page. See template options for details. In your case, you would set suppress-short-title: true to suppress the running header, and suppress-author-note: true to suppress the Author Note. Suppressing the page number on the first page might be possible, but I have not yet figured how to do it.

[baker-jr-john]

Unfortunately, the title header is still displayed on all of the pages, and the author's note is still present.

I'm using apaquarto version 4.1.0. Here is the YAML for my document.

Can you please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong or if you need more information? I appreciate it!

[wjschne]

I am not sure what the problem might be. It is working well on my machine. Perhaps, at least once, you need to set freeze: false? Also, I have noticed lately that my pdf viewer does not always refresh automatically. Try refreshing it manually (or try closing and reopening RStudio). If neither of those solutions works, I am happy to meet over Zoom to see what else might be going on.

[baker-jr-john]

Unfortunately, neither of those solutions worked. I would gladly meet with you over Zoom to resolve this!

[wjschne]

No problem. Send some times you have available to schneider@temple.edu, and I will pick one.

[baker-jr-john]

Please don't worry about how to suppress the page number on the first page. I thought that was part of APA guidelines, but I was mistaken. I'm excited to meet with you to sort through the other issues.

[wjschne]

Problem fixed in consultation meeting.
