   In the WDG, under the Templates listing to the left, you should have a Riverpoint Writer category, and in that category, a template named "Riverpoint" should be selectable
   Select the Riverpoint template to start using the Riverpoint Writer for Mac
2. Select the option to enable macros if prompted.
3. Choose one of the options: Create a Paper or Open a Paper.
4. Complete the information about your paper: name, title, etc. Uncheck the Running Head box if you are not required to include a Running Head.(If the information from step 4 requires future editing, right click in the document and select the Title Page Editor option.)
5. Your paper will populate with the correct margins, page header, page numbers, and a title page. You can begin typing your essay.
6. To access the reference formatting and citation tool within Riverpoint Writer, you can either access the Riverpoint Writer menu from Word’s toolbar or right click with your mouse and select this option: Create and Add a Reference.
7. Choose the reference you want to add and complete the necessary fields. This will create your reference page. Should you need help with entering content, hints are provided on the right for each field.

9. To change or include a reference entry or citation not built into Riverpoint Writer, right click and select Insert a Citation/Edit References to make changes permanent in your document. Your citation and reference changes or additions within the actual text will not save when you close the document if you have not used the Insert a Citation/Edit References option.
