Basics
Dr Paper works with Word and Google Docs on your PC or Mac to help you create APA formatted documents and references easily and correctly. It also supports MLA and Turabian formats, so you will be prepared for all your college writing requirements. If you are studying medicine, you will be glad to see that Dr Paper Software also includes the reference format for Medical Journals.

With only a few clicks, Dr Paper takes care of formatting details (margins, cover pages, page numbers, section headings, reference formatting and alphabetization, etc.) so you can concentrate on your writing.

  • Create a document formatted for APA (6th edition), MLA, or Turabian guidelines, ready for you to write your paper.
  • Create a datafile with all the information you need for properly formatted references.
  • Automatically format and alphabetize your references in APA, MLA, or Turabian style.
A single purchase gives you access to the most popular style guidelines used in college classrooms, as well as compatibility with all versions of Word (including the new Word 2019) and Windows (XP, Vista, Windows 7, 8, and 10).

Each package also includes both Windows and Mac versions.

Recently added:
Support for Google Docs.

One reviewer says . . . .

"When you don't have to worry about things like Where does that comma go? and Is there even a comma in that citation? -- it's a very freeing experience! Being able to focus on analysis and word choice, rather than on commas and citations, will make writing papers more enjoyable for any student. . . . "

Here's What Our Customers Say



"It is an absolute no brainer for those of us who are busy and want to get the most out of our college education."


"I tell all my students to use Dr Paper. It saves them time and gives them a better chance at doing well on research writing assignments."


"I really don't know how I could have gotten through these assignments without Dr Paper!"


"I have used Dr. Paper for several years now, and just recently upgraded for the new Microsoft Office integration. Having this program has been a godsend to my academic career because I never fret about writing papers."

"I HIGHLY recommend this program, even if you are a proficient writer, just because it takes the hassle out of formatting and gets the creative juices flowing.

"Rec'd 10/10 on a paper where most classmates rec'd deductions of 20-40% for APA errors. As a working and traveling adult, it was worth it to buy this template rather than quibble about paper structure. Time is money. Well worth the small investment."

Easy. Powerful. Smart.
