Change font and size of word "References" in article class

[talikarn...@gmail.com]

Can someone please help me change the centering and size of the word
"References". It currently comes up as being much larger than the rest
of the text and is on the left margin rather than centred )which is
where I would like it to be).
I am using the biblatex system and here are the relevant parts of the
document.

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,oneside]{article}
\usepackage[style=apa,sorting=nyt,sortcites=true]{biblatex}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{lastpage}

\begin{document}
\doublespacing
***TEXT AND REFERENCES OMITTED****

\newpage
\singlespacing
\printbibliography
\end{document}

There are two questions here. For the problem of changing the word
"References", see the FAQ:

http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=fixnam

On the other hand, it appears much larger than the rest of the text and
it is not centered because it is treated as a section title. Are you
sure that you want to change that?

Best regards,

Jose Carlos Santos

That's how the bibliography heading is supposed to be: an
unnumbered section.

Look at \defbibheading in biblatex's doc if you want to change it.
For example you can say

\defbibheading{talikarng}{\begin{center}References\end{center}}

in the preamble and then

\printbibliography[heading=talikarng]

Ah,
Thankyou both. This is exactly what I was looking for.
