• Word automatically generates a bibliography from the sources you used to write your paper. Each time you add a new citation to your document, Word adds that source so that it appears in the bibliography in the proper format, such as MLA, APA, and Chicago-style.
• APA: The Easy Way. While not specific to writing APA papers in MS Word, this books is super clear and provides a great guideline to the APA style. While I recommend 'The easy way', The official APA publication manual is also worth a buy.

Reference Point Software Templates

Version: APA Format

Does it take you almost as long to format
a paper in APA style as itdoes to write it?

Reference Point Software's templates make it easy to format your papers in APA 7th edition style. With just a few clicks of the mouse, your document will have the proper margins, with the header and page numbers in exactly the right places. Even references and citations are a snap…just type in the information and the software will format it perfectly.

Most importantly, our templates allow you to concentrate on the content of your paper, so you can learn about the topic rather than word processing commands. Save time and work smarter with our templates, which are available for use with Word, OpenOffice and NeoOffice.

These templates are based on the 7th Ed. of the APA Publication Manual (see order screen for the versions availble in 5th & 7th Edition) and include support for APA's style guidelines for electronic resources and references.

What do the templates do?

Generally, Reference Point Software templates do two things:

• Set up a blank document in APA 7th edition or 5th edition format, ready for you to type your paper into.
• Automatically format the reference list & make inserting citations easy.
  

Specifically, here is what the templates do:

• Create the Header (also called Running head) with page numbers
• Set up the proper margins, line spacing, etc.
• Create a title page
• Create an abstract page, place for the body of the paper, and reference page
• Easily add properly formatted headings and subheadings
• Format each reference with commas, parentheses, italics, and indents in exactly the right spots
• Stores references in a database for easy editing and reuse, you control where data is stored (if you want to).
• With Reference Point templates your citation info travels with your document. If you work on more than one computer you only need to copy one file to the other computer - your APA document!
• If you need to edit references on more than one computer you can easily copy the references file just as easily as your document. Put it on a flash drive, email it to yourself, or use a program like DropBox to store your references in the cloud and sync your computers.
• Make it a snap to cite a reference in the body of the paper and even cite multiple sources in one citation
• Create complex page numbering (MS Word only)
• Provide sample tables that you can modify for your own needs (MS Word only)
• Provide a template to easily create an outline (MS Word only)
• Easily backup your document automatically and on demand (MS Word for Windows only)
• Compatible with Win XP, Vista, Win 7, Win 8, Win 8.1, Win 10, and OS X (see order page for specifics)

What do the templates look like?

When you use the template to enter a reference the template makes it easy to enter the authors. The template will capitalize the names if you don't and it will insert periods after initials.

Below is the screen you fill out to make an APA style chapter in a book reference. Notice that this one screen handles multiple types of references including books with editions, revised books, & books you read online. Notice also that we give you advice as to how to fill out this form. e.g. what to capitalize. Do you know if all words in a journal article should be capitalized? We'll tell you as you go.

When you are ready to insert a citation into your paper the template already knows the authors you've typed in. You have to make a decision as to the style of citation but we give you the info you need to decide, complete with usage examples. Note you can easily add page numbers or other types of numbers to a citation.

This page contains sample papers formatted in seventh edition APA Style. The sample papers show the format students should use to submit a course assignment and that authors should use to submit a manuscript for publication in a professional journal. If you are writing or publishing an APA Style paper in another context (e.g., for a dissertation), check with your instructor or publisher for additional formatting guidelines.

Sample papers from the Publication Manual

The following two sample papers were published in annotated format in the Publication Manual and are reproduced here for your ease of reference. The annotations draw attention to relevant content and formatting and provide users with the relevant sections of the Publication Manual (7th ed.) to consult for more information.

We also offer these sample papers in Microsoft Word (.docx) file format without the annotations.

Sample paper templates by paper type

These sample papers demonstrate APA Style formatting standards for different paper types. You can download the Word files to use as templates and edit them as needed for the purposes of your own papers. We plan to share additional sample papers and templates in the future, including more student sample papers.

Sample papers are covered in Chapter 2 of the APA Publication Manual, Seventh Edition

Instructional aids

Sample papers in real life

Although published articles differ in format from manuscripts submitted for publication or student papers (e.g., different line spacing, font, margins, and column format), articles published in APA journals provide excellent demonstrations of APA Style in action.

APA journals began publishing papers in seventh edition APA Style in 2020. Professional authors should check the author submission guidelines for the journal to which they want to submit their paper to check for any journal-specific style requirements.
