This new version of our popular program includes all the features you have come to expect from previous versions of the APA-Style Helper. In addition it provides a number of new features such as, handles citations in text, has an organizer tool, includes custom toolbars.

Update version needed

I was disappointed, the APA was incompatible for MS Word 2007. It will work with MS 2003.

I purchased Style Helper 5.1 sometime within the last year. When I first read about it and purchased the product, I thought it was really cool and I looked forward to using it. Surely, this would minimize a lot of the effort one puts into writing research papers. I've just recently begun using it to any great degree. I have to tell you, I'm not very impressed with it. There are some features that work okay, but I don't find it very user friendly or intuitive. I've spent several hours "playing around" with it just to learn how to use it. I find the reference/citation features less than ideal. Specifically, when adding a reference you are limited to the reference types within the program. If you want to customize one, there's no option in the list called "other"
or "customize". Then, once you add them to the database, good luck removing them! With the use of the Internet and all the variations of research one does these days, Style Helper does not offer newer reference types. I just emailed the APA folks to see if there were any updates to 5.1. I was told that there are no updates. Some people may find Style Helper useful, but yesterday, I finally quit using it and went back to building my research paper the old fashion way, using Microsoft Word and using the APA text book. I hope the next version has a few more bells and whistles. This version is unimpressive.
