Thumbs up Answer: How do I indent the second line of an APA citation?

Sure, I can help you with that! Here are the steps to indent the second line of an APA citation in Word 2007:
  1. Highlight the citation you want to indent the second line for.
  2. Right-click on the highlighted text and select "Paragraph" from the drop-down menu.
  3. In the "Paragraph" dialog box, under the "Indentation" section, find the "Special" drop-down menu and select "Hanging".
  4. In the "By" field, enter the amount of space you want to indent the second line. For APA citations, this is usually 0.5 inches.
  5. Click "OK" to apply the changes.

And that's it! Your citation should now have the second line indented. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.

Thumbs up Answer: How do I indent the second line of an APA citation?

Sure, I can definitely help you with that! Here's how you can indent the second line of an APA citation in Word 2007:
  1. First, select the text you want to indent. In this case, it would be the second line of your citation.
  2. Next, go to the Home tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  3. Look for the Paragraph section of the ribbon, which should be on the left side.
  4. In the Paragraph section, you'll see a small icon that looks like an arrow pointing to the right and down. This is the Increase Indent button.
  5. Click on the Increase Indent button once to indent the selected text by 0.5 inches. This is the standard indentation for APA citations.
  6. If you want to indent the text even further, you can click the Increase Indent button again to add another 0.5 inches of indentation.

That's it! Your second line of the APA citation should now be indented. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.

Hi Doug, Type the citation(s) then select them. Hit control-T and voila!

You can also format from the "home" tab using the paragraph group dialog
box, then choose the "hanging indent" feature next to "indentation" and under
"special."

Hello Doug,

The first time you add a bibliography to your document, a
'Bibliography' style is added to your document's style section. You
can use that to format your bibliography exactly the way you want. And
the good thing is, the formatting stays if you update/recreate the
bibliography.

In your case, insert the bibliography and on the 'Home' ribbon, select
the little arrow at the bottom of the 'Styles' section. Right-click
'Bibliography' in that list and choose for 'Modify ...'. Click the
'Format' button at the bottom and choose paragraph. Here you can set
the indentation to what you require 'First Line', 'Hanging', ...

BR,

Yves
