APA references
When I create a bibliography in APA using Word 2007, it gives me a list of my
sources, but does not indent the 2d and subsequent line(s) of the source. All lines of the source start at the same point. APA style requires that references be entered with the first line not indented, and subsequent lines indented. When I tried to fix this manually, Word won't let me. When I try to indent the 2nd line of the reference, both the 1st and 2nd lines indent. HELP? |

Modify whatever style the bibliography is using to have a hanging indent.

The bibliography is already set to APA. What else do I need to do? I'm not
that familiar with Word 2007 yet. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Modify whatever style the bibliography is using to have a hanging indent. -- Suzanne S.

I read elsewhere that the Bibliography paragraph style is used for these
entries. That is the style you need to modify. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "areensee" wrote in message ...

The first time you add a bibliography to your document, a 'Bibliography' style is added to the list with styles (CTRL+ALT+SHIFT +s). The name of the style is culture dependant and could be something different. Anyway, you can modify that style so that the bibliography gets formatted the way you want. HTH, Yves |

APA references
The answers that were given were not very clear on the steps needed to create
a hanging indent for an APA formatted paper: So here is the information that you can use to successfully format a hanging indent. If using 2007 Word there is a "References" menu bar / under the "Manage Sources" there is a drop down box for style - APA should be listed and use that for starters. use the reference section for entering your citations and reference list. If you are having trouble with the hanging indent you can manually apply that format by first highlighting the entire SINGLE reference then going back to the home tab and opening the "paragraph dialog box" that is achieved by clicking on the tiny arrow on the bottom right hand corner of the Paragraph menu window - when the dialog box opens go to the 2nd section that is titled "Indentation" then under the "Special" drop down box choose "Hanging" the default should already be set for 0.5" - you should then see your first line over to the left and the following lines of that reference indented to the right by 1/2 inch. Hope this clears up the confusion! imamuse "areensee" wrote: When I create a bibliography in APA using Word 2007, it gives me a list of my sources, but does not indent the 2d and subsequent line(s) of the source.
