Hey guys, I'm a college student, and I am taking a class that requires writing a lot of essays that require a works cited page. The professor wants the works cited to be formatted a certain way, but I can't figure out how to do this in Pages. In word, this option is apparently easy to find, but with Pages, the process seems more difficult. I talked with the professor about this, and we spent a lot of time digging through all the menus, trying to find the setting that would format the works cited correctly. When we couldn't find this, we looked at the help topic on this, and it mentioned something about EndNote. I guess you use endNote to fill out a works cited, and then you can put it in Pages, all formatted the way it should be. However, later, when I looked over the help topic, I interpreted it to say that I would have to buy the EndNote software to use this feature in Pages. It said there is a plug-in for people who bought Pages on the app store, like I did, but it also said something about having to buy the software separately. I looked at the options for bibliographies in the edit menu, and it has everything I can think of, except MLA, which is the one I need. Is there any way to make a correctly formatted works cited page in pages?If so, is there any software I need to install to make this easier? I know this message was long, but any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Kira

I do all of my formatting by hand. it's tedious, but at least I know how the page will look. I've been doing it this way since my high school days, over 15 years ago.
