Annette,
Believe Microsoft Corporation is considered both author and publisher
of the software. Corporate offices are located in Redmond,
Washington. I'd cite as below:
Microsoft Corporation. (1996). Microsoft Office 97 Standard
Edition: PowerPoint [Computer
Software]. Redmond,
WA: Microsoft Corporation.
(APA Manual ref #3, Bottom of page 221).
In text:
Participants were presented the ambiguous stimuli at intervals of
_______ using Microsoft PowerPoint presentation software (Microsoft
Corporation, 1996).
Best,
CJC
I
disagree. The APA Publication Manual (1994) states, "If an
individual has proprietary rights to the software, name him or her as the
author; otherwise, treat such references as unauthored works"
(p.222).
