For an APA header you need the title of your paper on the left, and the page number on the right. Here is how to do it:
- Go to the Insert menu in the Word ribbon. Select Header from the Header & Footer section.
- Select Blank Header, the first option.
- Click on Page Number on the top left. Select Top of Page, then Plain Number 1. The pages will now have the page number on them.
- Type the title of the paper in all caps. If it is over fifty characters, use a shortened version of the title.
- After typing the title, place the cursor immediately to the left of the page number. Press page until the page number is on the right of the page.
Below is a link from APA Style with guidance on running headers and sample papers to see how it is done.
