Writing a paper? Welcome Home!

PERRLA® software helps you focus on research & writing your paper, not formatting it

PERRLA is a software program that works within Microsoft Word to correctly format your entire paper in either APA or MLA style including:

  • Title Page
  • Abstract Page
  • Margins
  • Page Numbers

PERRLA helps you properly create and insert your in-text citations, references, and work cited entries. As you create your references in PERRLA, the program automatically creates a database of all your references so you can use them again on different papers without having to re-enter all the data.

PERRLA's reference wizard helps you cite all 200+ APA reference types and 150+ MLA reference types.

System Requirements:
Operating System: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7
Word Processing Program: Microsoft Word 2000 or higher

Note for Mac users: PERRLA is designed for use on a Windows operating system. While some Mac users have successfully run PERRLA on their computers, PERRLA does not guarantee compatibility with Apple computers.
