I would like to see a citation section for APA 6, MLA and the other popular citation formats. Pagination is still WAY to cumbersome and clunky. You're almost better off sticking with MS Works until GDocs catches up...which they will in time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-90236653435291676022011-05-05T22:50:27.731-07:002011-05-05T22:50:27.731-07:00I just copy paste to word and then insert the page...I just copy paste to word and then insert the page #Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-32644715843231867512010-11-26T23:59:03.855-08:002010-11-26T23:59:03.855-08:00its works for me easy trickits works for me easy trickshenoyjosephhttp://techdraginfo.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-72458531414517024362010-05-29T12:45:57.183-07:002010-05-29T12:45:57.183-07:00This was PERFECT.

I was concerned I wouldn't be able to edit the header from the "Page 1 of X" format, but was thankful to find that not the case! As someone completely foreign to html, I didn't find it too hard.
