My mac did a pretty good job at catching things, but it was often a quicker and better use of time to have someone check the final product and fix any formatting I overlooked.
>> Good luck! If you'd like the APA document which spells out how to do formatting in words rather than just visually, let me know. It really helped me a lot!
