Harvard reference guide/generator?

[ivrytwr3]

Hey all,

As some of you may or may not know i am currently doing an OU course and it's going ok at the minute (first time i have attempted higher learning!)

Bear with me here, to ensure we are on the right track our tutor has given us milestones each month; 1x 1000/2000 word essay per month. At the end of the four month we put it all together for submission.

I am happy how to reference with Harvard, but my essay runs to approx 7000 words and although i have produced a ToC, the layout still looks like stuff i produced for GCSE never mind academia!

Is there a guide/generator that deals with the layout and not just the referencing (there are loads of those). Or can anyone send me a paper they have produced i can use as a template?!

Ta!

I use Neils toolbox, but it's not the referencing that's the issue, it's the actual layout of the paper i want to get right.

(the paper and reference list are written, i just need to get the look/layout of the paper into the correct layout instead of blocks of text in MS Word!! I am trying to get it to look like an academic paper).

Latex looks interesting - never seen that before. Is it simple to use?

I use the arrowed bullet points but, as my course is a science they are lenient towards our layouts.

MIne is a science too and i am sure they would accept what is presented, but i have the time to to a decent presentation of the paper.
