Microsoft Word 2007 and later versions contain a tool to help users create citations and a reference page in APA style. The tool allows users to build a database of sources and insert citations into their work. To use it, users select the References tab and choose "Insert Citation." They can then add new sources to the database by selecting the type of source and entering the source information. Word will automatically generate the reference in APA style on the reference page at the end of the document.
