Hi Phyllis:
You need to be careful who is saying what :-)
If the solution relies on VBA, Microsoft says that will not re-appear in
Microsoft Office until the version after 2008: late 2010 at the earliest.
You can either go back to Office 2004, or wait. Nothing requiring VBA
will
work in office 2008, ever.
However, Word 2008 has an inbuilt Citation Manager. Go to View>Citations
and choose APA.
Hope this helps
