Word is the file format for the computer program you are using to write your paper. APA format is the format for how you arrange citations for the sources, etc, that you cite in a paper you write. E.g., the order you list author, title, etc, in, whether you underline or italicize titles, etc. See here for a better explanation: http://www.apastyle.org/aboutstyle.html They deal with totally different aspects of a paper, so you wouldn't be converting from one to another. Start here re APA style rules http://apastyle.org/ Also use http://google.com or another search engine to search the web. You will probably find plenty of sites that list APA rules for formatting citations/references, plus sites that let you download an APA-style template for Word to use. -- Daiya Mitchell, MVP Mac/Word Word FAQ: http://www.word.mvps.org/ MacWord Tips: http://www.word.mvps.org/MacWordNew/ What's an MVP?

APA is not a file format in which the document is saved, but refers to a
style of text/paragraph formatting applied to the document content. It is a standard adopted by the American Psychological Ass'n. Try Google for APA Format. Good Luck |:) On 8/28/05 4:50 PM, in article , "Confused" wrote: I just enrolled into an online class and my papers have to be done in APA format but I don't know anything about this format. |
