Scrivener for APA and MLA formatted papers [was Re: Word processing software]
Hi Sarah, Just another follow-up suggestion for writing APA formatted papers. I was looking through Scrivener, and there seems to be a good APA template that comes with the application. The sample paper shown with this template is filled in with quite a lot of detail -- more than is given in Pages. It's a little tricky getting the project templates selected, though, because after you select the category for the template, such as Non-Fiction, you don't hear them described if you try to interact with the scroll area and VO-Right, etc. However, there's a description text area, so that when you're positioned on a selection, like the default for Non-Fiction, you'll read Provides the project structure and compile for producing an essay using Chicago style formatting. If you turn off QuickNav and just use your arrow keys to move through the scroll area, and VO-J to jump back to the description text area, you'll be able to read the descriptions for each of the available templates and select them. (I just press return instead of leaving this area and navigating the choose button.) Among the template selections are ones for academic papers in APA format and MLA format, and the first template is for an essay in Chicago style format. There's a very detailed description about how to use the (specific) template and a sample PDF paper. (Well, the actual text is gobbledy-gook, except for section headings, title page, and references, which are quite detailed.) I think that Scrivener's templates, combined with James' suggestion on using Braille for the citations, might be a good solution for you. I started looking at Scrivener in more detail because it has an interface with LaTeX. Dónal's suggestion about using LaTeX is workable -- but it's also likely to be a large learning curve for you. However, he's correct that there are specific standard apa style files in the MacTeX distribution that handle the formatting in either journal, manuscript, or draft mode. (The same is true for MLA, and Chicago styles). I even found a web page titled Writing a research methods paper in APA style using LaTeX by a professor who was teaching this Because your writing should be more important than the specific technicalities of making the manuscript look 'nice' in printed form… The basic principle is that you should focus on the text, and the program should focus on the stylistic requirements. The program LaTeX with the associated apa.cls set of stylistic instructions allows you to do this fairly easily. (Easy is a strange term when it comes to LaTeX, it is easy one you spend the effort to get the program, download the associated class files, and learn how to use them.) I would have pointed you to this page and the associated sample files, but they were done using the APA style file in use in 2006. If your professor is a stickler, there was a revision of the APA style to version 6 about a year later, and so there is a slightly different apa6.cls style file now being used. James knows, better than most, about using LaTeX, since he learned it for doing his papers at university back in the days of VoiceOver with Tiger and Leopard. I will say that LaTeX (and BibTeX for references) is free, cross-platform, multi-lingual, and accessible -- even for tables and embedded lists! Collaborating with other people who use LaTeX in Windows or Linux is not a problem. However, it doesn't solve the problem of people who are working with others where Microsoft Office is the standard for the production and all documents must be in Word format. Scrivener might be a good compromise for you as another alternative to Pages or Nisus Writer Pro, mainly because you're writing for the final product, and not the requirement that this be produced in Word compatible format, and because the template description of how to use the APA style template (or MLA, or Chicago style) is fairly detailed. The developers (Literature and Latte) also have an educational discount of 15% on the regular list price of $45, and there is now even a Windows version (that is not yet as fully featured). I haven't done a lot with Scrivener yet, myself. Like Dónal, I'm a LaTeX user when I need really high-powered word processing capabilities. HTH.

Hello Anne, Phil and all I think this, perhaps, is one of those occasions where it is only fair to shed a little light, if you will pardon the pun, on things.

Re: Word processing software
Actually they wanted it a lot different like 2 spaces here, the synapses,
there, no intro, the running header for the first 2 pages 1 line down and for
the rest of the pages on the top of the margin, the first entry on the works
cited, which was actually called references, (if not you lost a few points if
you did not even title it right) to be indented, and 2 spaces after this or
that, a cams here, a period there, and other things I can't remember.
The format you gave is that how you can make custom templets? like for MLA, APA
and Chicago style? And for teachers who want to be picky to make up their own
style? lol!
Like I said I have listened to some wonderful podcasts about pages and I'm
willing to give it a try, on something less complex then what the prof wanted
last semester lol! Maybe 1 or 2 pages for a start, but I know someone who is
doing their book totally in pages. and that's how they did their podcast was to
show how they were writing their book.
Bean and IText are wonderful, but I think pages, and if they cooperate, the
Microsoft suite for osx will work out just beautifully depending on your wants
and profs.
But to get back to the poster's question, I would prob go with pages as it
seeks like you can do a lot with it.
Tc all.

Now all of your references are contained in a separate bibliography and you
just include it. You run the text through a piece of software and it
produces PDF output. On mac, MacTex is a superb piece of software for doing
this, and Bibdesc is great for organising references.
By changing the style file you use, the citations appear in the document
differently. For example, if you use the file necessary for publication in
Springer's lecture notes in computer science they appear as [1], whereas in
other publications they appear like [Raman1994]. the \cite{} command is
still used, it's just a different style file that controls how things appear
in the final output.
If you have a lot of papers to write, and you have the time, I'd strongly
encourage you to invest a bit in looking into this. You'll still need a
sighted person to look at the resulting output as LaTeX can be slightly
unpredictable where it puts things like tables, figures etc but I find that
my formatting is a lot more consistent when I use this.
All the best,

Re: Word processing software
Hi everyone, As has been said already, Pages has the potential to be a fabulous app and for plain writing it is. By plain writing, I mean where you don't need to add footnotes, lists and the like. While you can add them, VoiceOver doesn't recognise them as such and will not let you know that they are there.If for instance you insert a bulleted list, the entire list will just be treated as normal text. On the other hand, running headers are certainly possible and work really well. They are a little fiddly to get set up though if memory serves. I don't know if other users will agree with me, but I think the key to learning Pages is learning that the Inspector (Command+Option+I) is your friend. It allows you to have fine-grained control over the document. As i and others have said though, the short-comings are with VoiceOver, not Pages. As Lynne said, Nisus Writer Pro is your friend and is also an extremely good product. We use both here. There are some accessibility issues with NWP, which I can talk about if anyone is interested, but 99% of the app is fully accessible with VoiceOver.

Re: Word processing software
Hi Sarah,
Believe me, you can do stuff with LaTeX, and the underlying TeX engine, that
word processors like pages, office, openoffice etc. can only dream of. Most
academic articles in the sciences are produced using this set of packages.
Books, monographs, papers, posters, slides (etc) can all be done using LaTeX.
That style you mentioned could all be set up. As for ARPA and Chicago, it's
two lines of code.

Hi Sarah, Are you a Braillist? In my experience, Braille is the best way to get a handle on this sort of thing. As has probably been said here, different citation styles require very different things. Parenthetical citation versus footnotes for example. (I hate the former personally) Even within particular departments, different lecturers sometimes like slightly different twists on their preferred citation method. I'm sure you've done this, but why not ask your particular lecturers for an example of each type of citation that they want. That way, when you hand your paper in, they should mark you down if you have followed their examples.

Re: Word processing software
Hello George, You can open MS Word documents with TextEdit or Pages. I work with Word documents all the time as a freelance translator and I use Pages since it keeps most of the formatting correct. The only problems I have are with missing fonts and a few anomlies in the way text boxes and tables are handled. However, the fonts problem is minor and the layout problems are rare in what I do.

RE: Word processing software
The Mac comes with Text Edit for free which is a respectable basic word processor and Mail which is a good email program. It does not, as far as I am aware have a free spreadsheet solution. Personally I would counsel that if you are a heavy Office user then at the very least you will have a steep learning curve to learn the Mac way of doing things. Providing your needs are basic you will have no difficulty with meeting Office needs on a Mac. If however, like me , you need to do serious Table analysis and manipulation there is no serous option for doing this on a Mac apart from fairly clunky work around involving using a word processor and the Numbers spreadsheet simultaneously. I also found Numbers a steep learning curve and did not have the time to learn to switch from Excel usage because of the steepness of this curve. Apparently tables is less difficult but I am afraid I went back to using Excel on a Windows platform as I needed to get work done. It depends on what your expectations are. If your needs are creative art based, music , basic word processing, web browsing etc the Mac is a very good solution. If you have serious Office productivity needs for spreadsheet and tables in particular you will probably need Fusion at the very least to retain a Microsoft Office solution. This is why I have been unable to break from Windows and even this email is sent from a Windows laptop as I am taking a break from work. The learning curves could be made less steep with better guides. For example I am not aware, apart from basic Voiceover documentation, of any guide which systematically works you through switching from Excel to Numbers. Pages is also very different from Word and a similar guide would be useful . However a lot of Pages help is available on this list.
