Default How can I set up Word for APA formatting?

Most likely because you use a style which shows only one author.

If not, are you certain you entered the authors correctly? In the
create/edit source dialog, make sure you use the edit button to enter
the author names one by one. Otherwise authors could easily be
misformatted. Once you figure out the correct use of ';' and ',', you
can probably enter the authors without the edit dialog.

If someone tells you your work is incorrect, you should ask them what
is wrong with it. That way it would be a lot easier to fix any
problems ...


Some possible issues:
1)TheAPAstyle is only for bibliographies, that is, the rest of the
text will not be formatted according to theAPAguidelines unless you
use some kind of template.
2)Microsoft does not set the indentation forAPAbibliographies (and
no that's not a bug). You should set the "Bibliography" paragraph
style to hanging yourself.
3)If you have multiple works by the same author(s) in the same year in
your reference list, a suffix will not be added to the year but the
title will be displayed instead. This is not correct according toAPA
guidelines and you will have to add the suffix manually to the year
and suppress the title.
