APA 7 Word documents, straight from Markdown

Ask for a paper in APA style and Multilo now writes the Word document that way from the start: APA heading styles, double spacing, left alignment and bold table labels.

  • Page breaks, hanging indents and APA tables come from the Markdown itself, so the layout is right without slow workarounds inside the Word file.
  • Word tables keep Word's own cell margins, and long tables stay readable.
  • The Word view fits the width of the text, so a page stays readable in a narrow window.
  • Numbers in write-ups follow APA style.

References checked properly

Each reference is now checked field by field against its record (authors, year, volume, issue and pages) and the kind of source is named. Open-access papers are recognised from their licence and from PubMed Central. If a claim check could not run, Multilo says so instead of staying quiet, and any step that failed is reported.

Web access you approve

The Web switch in the chat box is gone. When a chat needs the internet, Multilo asks on the spot, and your answer holds for that chat. In Settings → Web access you choose the default: Ask the first time a chat needs the internet, or Always allow. While the web is on, the Sources button shows · Web, and its library count follows the files saved on disk.

Spreadsheets in their own format

.xls and .ods files open in the spreadsheet viewer and save back in the same format, as Excel and LibreOffice do.

Also in this update

  • Closing a window is instant. The window leaves the screen at once and the chat finishes saving out of sight.
  • An expired sign-in is renewed and the request sent again, so a long chat does not fail halfway.
  • A chat open in two windows no longer shows "Chat changes are not saved to disk".
  • Autosave never brings back a file you deleted on disk.
  • Go to Line works from anywhere, zoom in always zooms, and the context meter is a small pie.
