Re: Pages and APA 6th edition style
I guess I'm really looking for an add-in software or template that will automatically allow me to select headers, paragraph style, citing with various formatting designations that APA requires by source type, etc. I know there is a msword based program thar sits on top of word, but I prefer pages. All the fussy in-text, and references that require the constant cross checking against the APA manual is very time consuming and taxes my limited vision severely. I was hoping for an automatic integration between writing a paper and formatting it with current APA guidelines, like a set of preformatted options from the editing tools.

Re: Pages and APA 6th edition style
Hello Tammy, I've mentioned several times on this list that I can send anyone a template for the APA format. It contains all the necessary styles and heading formats. You just have to type over the placeholder text and it will be correctly formatted. Also, we put in examples of all the formats for references. You just need to select that text and copy it into a TextEdit document as a reference guide.
