Hi everyone!

I'm taking a research theory course this summer for my program and I will have to write a research paper in APA format for the course. What are some APA formatting software programs that people have used and like?

Thanks!

There are actually some free format generators available online, where you fill a few blanks out, click 'generate', and it lays it out for you.

I'll post the link to the one i used to use when i find where i put it.

I finally came off the money and bought reference point's software. It is AWESOME!!!! I wrote my paper today using it and it was incredibly easy.

I bought Dr. Paper's software offline. It gives you a few templates that you can just fill in. I have not quite figured out how to work the whole thing yet...there was a free one that I downloaded but darned if I could work it...good luck

Here's the link for reference point: http://www.referencepointsoftware.net/ It's not free, but I love it! When you start a new document, it has pop-up boxes that you fill in for title, author, running head, etc. For the reference part, it does the same thing and even automatically inserts it on the reference page and inserts the reference in the paper, ie SouthernLPN (2006). I am very pleased with it.

Thanks so much for the info! Not looking forward to the papers ahead, but this kind of software will make it much less tedious, hopefully!

I believe http://www.stylewizard.com will do your reference page for you. Not positive, it's been a while since I used it.
