I was wondering how to place a table within the text for APA style?
Answer
The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition, has 19 pages devoted to the philosophy & minutia of placing a table in your paper (pp. 125-143).
That makes placing a table a bit of a complicated question. First you need to design it by their rules, & then place it.
You might look at p. 52 of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. It is a page from their sample paper, and gives the best visual of what your table should look like.
