Add APA 7th Edition

With the release of the 7th Edition of the APA Publication manual, this style needs to be reflected in Word for use in references, citations, and the reference list as well as a document template.

    Please update the styles in the references tab. The longer this waits, the more likely a tool will be developed to make your product obsolete. I am lucky that I only have a few grad classes left in my program, but there are several comments here that appear to have been ignored.

    APA 7th edition should be added for students to use since many colleges and Universities are now using this particular edition.

    Is someone going to address the ongoing concerns about adding APA Style 7th edition to Word. This has been ongoing since 2019. Give us some feedback. When will the MS Office team update APA?

    I guess we need to put out several tweets to Office.com to get some answers. Frustrating!!!

    Please Keep the Reference tab updated with the current editions of styles. Currently, the industry standard for citations is APA 7th addition for many universities. A few quick google searches show that the MS office team does not put this as a priority even though it is a feature many users depend on. The tool is already in place and should only require a few engineers to update existing style preferences with the current standards.

    I don't know why Microsoft has been slow in update these days. if you do not update on time means alternatives will take your place and each day your features is going to lose scope.

    Students really should be learning how to write in APA 7 style without a template. While a template would be nice and convenient, it is still a template that will likely render errors.

    Every student who uses a template should be checking through to ensure that their style is correct.

    The changes are not that difficult to comprehend and there are ample free resources online that describe in detail the style and changes from APA 6.

    Perhaps someone who feels a strong need to have a template should take a ***** at it and then collaborate on corrections with a reliable team.
