Default Word best for research papers? Or something better?

Understood.

But that's not what I asked. I am looking for software
that will gently guide me as to proper formatting of my
work and the citations and such.

Example.... here is an online citation "machine" that I
found.

As far as tracking sources--Word 2007 is adding a basic Citation Manager
that will probably help undergraduate college students.


That would help a LOT above.

purchase third-party bibliographic software programs like EndNote, ProCite,
and Reference Manager. I really don't think these programs are relevant to


I looked at all three above and the seem to be
made/sold by same company and are priced the same as
well...... abt $230

Any other cheaper citation software as Word add in
exist?
