Creating a Custom Bibliography Style in Word 2010

This process is supported by Windows versions of Microsoft Office, but not Mac versions. It is especially useful because Word only presents you with 2 different bibliography styles - neither which are accurate for many writing styles such as APA. Creating a new style will allow you to select it from the list of styles and have it inserted/generated correctly.

thank you, very useful and well explained

It seemed to change my whole document including the paragraph spacing and hanging, how do you only change the paragraph hanging for the bibliography without altering all the document

[@StephenRansom]

Thierry H the best way to do this is to add a new section break before the references page. Then, in paragraph settings you can add the hanging indent and only apply it to this new section. Whenever pages need custom formatting from the rest of the document new section breaks are best.

thank you so much!

[@StephenRansom]

You're welcome! I don't know why Microsoft has dropped the ball on offering a correct APA option here.

Great: Question: When I select "edit citation" and I write, for exampe, 77 (in page filed), it says "pág. 77". How can I change to "p. 77" without the manual mode?? Thank u.

[@StephenRansom]

Have you set the correction reference/citation style? Typically, it is the reference/citation style (APA, MLA,...) that drives this.

[@antonioliriololi]

Yes, i referenced ok. Please here is my problem (Thank you, sir): tinyurl.com/apa-problem
