The running head of your paper should appear on the heading on the first page of your document. The heading on the second page of your paper should be in the middle on top, but not in bold, just in regular type. Any additional headings or subheadings should either be left-justified or centered, depending on how long the writing piece is.
It is common to have 3-5 headings in a paper. The number of headings will depend on the length and complexity of the paper. Ensure that headings are clear, logical, and help to organize the content effectively.
