Stop formatting your dissertation by hand.

A ready-to-type Word file with the APA 7 essentials already wired up — margins, styles, all five heading levels, page numbering, and a table of contents that updates itself. Drop your writing in and let the structure hold.

What's inside

  • Real APA 7 styles — a body style with the first-line indent built in, and a reference style with a true hanging indent (never touch Tab again)
  • All five APA heading levels, with "Keep with Next" set so no heading strands at the bottom of a page
  • APA 7 page numbering — title page counted as 0 and unnumbered, text starting at 1
  • An automatic table of contents that rebuilds with one click
  • A one-page how-to inside the file (delete it before you submit)
