I disagree. PowerPoint is a publication and the format for its citation is
on page 221-222 of the APA Publication Manual (1994). The computer,
however, is hardware and should be treated as apparatus. The citation
would
read as follows:
PowerPoint 97 [Computer software]. (1996). Redmond, WA: Microsoft
Corporation.
Although PowerPoint may be bundled with Microsoft Office, it is an
individual software title.
