Don't Do it:
This was actually brought to my attention by one of my professors. Obviously he never tried it. He was speaking on pure speculation. It totally sucked. I whished I would have listened to my aunt when she said purchase the book instead. I had no use for it. This product should go back to the drawing board.
Not worth the time or money:
Not helpful, much less time consuming to use manual. Take it from me, this product was a major headache and I ended up returning it.
APA Style Helper 2.0:
Definitely not worth the $40 price tag. This program is not very useful and doesn't integrate well with MS Word...you are better off buying the manual and writing you paper the old fashioned way. I wouldn't recommend this program, even if it was shareware.
apa style helper 2.0:
Great tool to use for new writers. It is a little hard to figure out the details of usage, but once figured out is simple to use.
