Q. How do I make a table of contents or appendix following APA or MLA rules?

If you are asked to create either an appendix or table of contents for your assignment, here are some suggestions and examples:

Appendices

The most important thing about appendices is that you maintain the same formatting used in the rest of your paper.

• APA Style appendices setup and examples (APA Style website)
• Seneca's sample papers including appendices in APA [.docx file] and MLA [.docx file]
• Sample APA paper with Appendix (OWL Purdue) or MLA Appendix examples (MLA Style Center)

Table of Contents

Note that there is no guidance on formatting a table of contents from either APA or MLA. What's important is that you are consistent in what you choose to do.

• There is a brief mention of table of contents for reports (OWL Purdue) or see suggestions specifically for MLA (MLA Style Center)
