Apple STILL doesn’t have an APA template for Pages?
I am back in school, and that means research papers, hooray. I am being smarter about it all these days though–templates and citation management software are definitely the way to go!
It would sure be nice if Apple would include templates for the major paper formats with their word processor. And all the ones I could find that others had posted were either not really templates, or got the formatting wrong.
So I created one based off of their research paper template that references the latest rules at Perdue. I couldn’t have done it so quickly if it weren’t for this great tutorial over at the Mac Law Students website, thanks for the handy write-up.
So, if you came here looking for a free APA template for Pages, try this one out and let me know if it works for you: APA template for Pages 09′.
Updated July 17, 2009: Fixed a few annoyances in the template (page titles were not repeating and hyphenation was set for document.)

Hi there!
Thanks for the template! It’s helpful to me as a researcher writing in APA format.
This is great, thank you so much! Do you know how to coax pages into helping you create citations, preferable without having to buy endnote? I just bought my first mac, and just installed pages. I was told that Pages will create APA references, but so far I have not found how to do it. Thanks for your help!

I use Zotero for citation management–it is not integrated with Pages, but it is easy enough that the differences between the programs wasn’t worth the cost of Endnote.

I discovered CiteInPages scripts yesterday (URL: http://jhh.med.virginia.edu/main/CiteInPages). It seems to work quite well so far, even if the references might need some tweaking to comply formally with APA recommendations.
Huge thanks for Pages’ APA template !
