Has anyone used the APA software PERRLA or any other brand? Can you tell me if it’s worth purchasing and how easy it is to use? Thanks!
APA Formatting Software I do not know about PERRLA but here is some past information about APA formatting software. www.degreeinfo.com/showthread.php?t=28540 RXI
I hear good things about Perrla, but I currently use Citation Machine (free). Perrla is a plugin for MS Word (I believe), and I don't use Word, so your mileage may vary.
If you get the method of APA guidelines down you can arrange Microsoft to automatically do this for you as you type. We use APA in my school so im use to it. 12 times new roman font double space :>) blah blah blah But there are free softwares no need to buy ones or do it with Word.
You can try Writing in APA Style 1.1 software it contains examples of referencing of the most common sources, the way to layout your essay, page headings, page spacing, font type and size, paragraph indents, how to enter in-text citation etc. and it's Free!!
EndNote tmporter68, I started using ProCite (a fine product) almost ten years ago, and eventually migrated my databases to EndNote. I just recently upgraded from X2 to X3, and use the software for all of my papers and assignments. I have always heard great things about Perrla. I am told it is a great solution.
