    APA 7th Edition in MS Word - Microsoft Community

    I have figured out the file to modify to include APA 7th in Word. It is not complete, but is a start. The post contains instructions and a disclaimer. Feel free to post there and I will respond.

    I welcome suggestions for students with visual disabilities using screen readers and writing APA style academic papers.

    Bibliography and citation support in MS is "honoured in the breach". APA is not the only standard that is not up to date. MLA is also one version behind, and actually will be 2 versions behind in April.

    .

    Basically the feature is unusable as it stands when you are writing for someone who demands strict adherence to the newest standard, like teachers!

    .

    No advice, other than ask your instructor for an exemption to use the standard as it is supported Word. Yah, I know, unlikely to happen ...

    Your other option is to find a 3rd party tool, either online or locally installed that provides the correct formatting support and use it. Here are a few links to research

BibMe can find your source from external databases, fill in the information, and then accurately format the citation. Or, if you have the source in front of you, you can enter your entries in manually.

The service is provided free of charge by the college, and is available to members both within and outside of the Calvin community. There is no advertising on the site, and those who choose to register on the site will have the option of saving all of their citations and even multiple bibliographies to their account.

    While there are currently several other citation services available on the web (some for free and others available at a cost), KnightCite was created in 2004 when comparably free and powerful enough tools were not available. The creators of KnightCite chose to develop a program for Calvin that could ensure both relevant and highly accurate results.

    Agree. My last course the instructor insisted on using the 7th Edition, however, there are not much changes: delete the words "running header" - just tile is sufficient; most of the changes are in the reference format, e.g., htttp://doi.org/10.2307/420499. For best practice, I would go online and download a sample paper from Purdue.

    What she is referring to is that the APA format currently in Microsoft Word is not up to date with APA.  The current APA edition is 7th.  Will this be included in an update, can we manually download the current APA guidelines into Microsoft Word?

    Yes, APA 7, or the MS version of it will EVENTUALLY be updated into Word. In 2 or 3 years time (or longer, or shorter, we have no way of knowing).

    .

    Yes, APA 7 can be downloaded into Word independently of MS, if you can find it.  I haven't seen any mention of this sort of download.

    .

    Yes, you could create your own APA 7 XML rules file, if you can figure out the required XML programming language ...

    .

    Bottom line, don't hold your breath waiting for Word to support current standards, APA or other.  Use a 3rd party tool to do it for you.
