APA Style reference page
I just got a paper back that told me to review the APA style guidlines for
APA reference page. I did look at the site the instructor gave and clearly my reference page is not even close to what this site says it should be. I made sure that I had clicked on the APA style in references of Office 07. Why does it not match up and how can I fix this? -- Thank you Rena |

Word is indeed not 100% accurate when it comes to most bibliographic styles but in the most common cases it is correct. Keep in mind that you have to set the indentation of the bibliography yourself the first time. Once a bibliography is added to your document, a style called "Bibliography" (or a localized name) will show up in the list with styles (not reference styles) used throughout the document. You do have to change the indentation of that style. Yves -- http://www.codeplex.com/bibliography |

thanks so much. I did a test on that site and that may be the easiest way to
solve the problem. I bookmark it. -- Thank you Rena "tdecarli" wrote: FYI....I do not use this Word feature, however I do go to this site http://citationmachine.net/cm50/index.php?reqstyleid=2 You input the information it asks for and submit and it gives you what you need.

the indention was off. How do I fix that? But it also italized things that
shouldn't have been. -- Thank you Rena "p0" wrote: On 10 dec, 20:38, RSapko wrote: I just got a paper back that told me to review the APA style guidlines for APA reference page.

To change italics: you would have to change the style. It is possible
but not all that straightforward. But are you sure that you have picked to correct type for your source? For example, for books, the title is in italics while for booksections, the section title is not while the book title is. So if you would enter a book as a booksection, the title would be formatted incorrectly. What kind of errors do you see? To change indentation: first add a bibliography to your document. Now that you have the bibliography, go to the "Styles" group on the "Home" tab and click the little arrow in the corner (alternatively, you can press ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+S). In the list that pops up, look for a style called "Bibliography". Note that if you use a different version of Word "Bibliography"might be translated into your language (Bibliographia, Bibliografie, ...). Select it, press the array and choose "Modify..." from the menu. In the window that pops up, you can find a "Format" button which displays a menu. Pick "Paragraph" from that menu. In the "Indents and Spacing" tab, you can now set the indentation to whatever you want. In case of APA, you would have to set the "Special" indentation to "Hanging". Press "Ok" till you have closed all windows. Now, whenever you reformat your bibliography, the indentation will remain.
