Abstract
A new Windows-based word processor for preparing journal articles and student papers is described. In addition to standard features found in word processors, the present word processor provides specific help in preparing manuscripts. Clicking on “Reference Help (APA Form)” in the “File” menu provides a detailed help system for entering the references in a journal article. Clicking on “Examples and Explanations of APA Form” provides a help system with examples of the various sections of a review article, journal article that has one experiment, or journal article that has two or more experiments. The word processor can automatically place the manuscript page header and page number at the top of each page using the form required by APA and Psychonomic Society journals. The ]ldAPA Form]rd submenu of the “Help” menu provides detailed information about how the word processor is optimized for preparing articles and papers.
