Dr Paper creates APA, MLA, and Turabian documents by using the Visual Basic commands used by Word Macros. If you are submitting your paper electronically, it is considered polite to remove the macros from your document. There are several ways of doing this.

The preferred method is to save your document as a PDF (Portable Document Format) file. To save a document in PDF format, you will need to install an add-on to Microsoft Word, available at Microsoft's Online Help website.

You can also simply clear the macros from the Word document.

To clear the Dr Paper macros from your document in Word 2003:

  1. Click Tools, Templates and Add-Ins.
  2. Find the text that reads "DrPaperAPA001.......wiz" -- or something similar (the name of the macro will depend on which template you used to create the paper).
  3. Delete the name of this macro.
  4. Click OK, and then save the document.
The macros will be removed from the open document (they will remain on your computer, so you can create another paper). THE FORMATTING OF THE DOCUMENT WILL REMAIN THE SAME.
