How do I format my paper for APA style?
Is there some way that is less painful than another?
Answer
Sorry, the answer to the second part of your question is "no." There is nothing about APA that is not painful.
But there is good news about the first part of your question!
Microsoft Word includes a pre-formated APA paper. You just need to click and fill in your information.
You can find it in the templates section of Word when you start a new document, or on the Library's APA page.
