Abstract

Summary: An easily learned word processing package that provides support for the stylistic rules of the American Psychological Association. It automates a significant number of formatting rules including margins, page numbers, figure and table headings, and author notes. Perhaps its best feature is the "fill-in-the-blank" approach to citations and references. Although a bit complex for the beginning student, it should be of use to the advanced student and the professional.
