APA Case Study Format in Word
Upload the case study you wrote and it comes back in APA 7: title page, section headings at the right levels, double spacing, hanging indents, and an itemized report. Or start from the template, which has the sections already in place.
An APA case study is an ordinary APA 7 paper with a predictable structure: a title page, the case presented, an assessment supported by sources, the interventions, an evaluation, and a conclusion, then a References page. The formatting rules are the ones every APA paper follows; the marks are lost on heading levels used out of order, a missing title page, and sources cited in the text but absent from the list. Veermat applies the formatting to your Word file, styles the headings by level, and reports every citation it could not match.

In short
An APA 7 case study has a title page, double-spaced text in an approved font, level 1 headings for its sections (Case Presentation, Assessment, Interventions, Evaluation, Conclusion) with level 2 headings beneath them, (Author, year) citations, and a References page with hanging indents. Veermat applies all of it to your Word file and the template starts you with the sections in place.
What headings does an APA case study use?
Whatever sections your assignment names, styled as APA heading levels: level 1 for the main sections (centered, bold, title case), level 2 for subsections (flush left, bold). A common set is Case Presentation, Assessment, Interventions, Evaluation and Conclusion. The title of the paper is not a heading; it is repeated in bold above the first paragraph. Veermat styles your headings by level and keeps them in order.

Structure first
Headings by level, not by look
Case studies are where heading levels go wrong: a bold line for one section, an underlined one for the next, a level 3 under a level 1. Veermat reads your section lines, applies real Word heading styles at the correct APA level, and uses them in order, so the navigation pane and the rubric both read the same structure.
- Title page with the six lines, text starting on page 2
- Level 1 and level 2 headings styled and in order
- Double spacing, ½-inch indents, page number top right
- Citations matched to the References page, which gets hanging indents
- Patient or client details are never changed; only the formatting is

Frequently asked questions
Does a case study need an abstract?+
Only if the assignment asks for one. Most undergraduate case studies do not. If yours does, put it on its own page after the title page, under the heading Abstract, as one unindented paragraph of 150–250 words.
Can I keep the headings my instructor gave me?+
Yes. Veermat does not rename headings; it styles the ones you wrote at APA levels. Use the section names from your rubric and keep them in order.
Does it change my words?+
No. Only the formatting changes: margins, font, spacing, title page, headings, page numbers and the reference list. Your sentences, your data and your citations stay as you wrote them; the report tells you what to change by hand.
Is it free?+
Yes. Upload the Word file, see the formatted result and the itemized APA 7 report free, no signup. Pro downloads the editable .docx. The template is a free download either way.
