If your intention was to ask if you had to complete each field in the Word 2007 bibliographic tool for every source, the answer is no. Word 2007 tries to make a best-effort attempt at formatting whatever data you feed it. Yves |

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)The APA style is only for bibliographies, that is, the rest of the text will not be formatted according to the APA guidelines unless you use some kind of template. 2)Microsoft does not set the indentation for APA bibliographies (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 to APA guidelines and you will have to add the suffix manually to the year and suppress the title. Yves |

When I print the Bibliography it does not print all the authors. It only
prints the first one and then the initial of the next author. Why is that?

Why doesn't the bibliography show all my authors? It only shows the first one.

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.

I am having the same problem. Before upgrading to Windows 7 in Office 2007 I
didn't have any problems with formatting issues in the bibliography and sources. Now, it only lists the first author regardless of how I enter the text in the fields. Did some update overwrite the way Office formats sources? "katdat" wrote: Why doesn't the bibliography show all my authors? It only shows the first one.
