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 to APA 7. It is materially different from APA 6, but it really would not be that hard, just a few field changes. We college students desperately, desperately need it.

    If you open the Feedback Hub in Windows 10, you can search for this same issue in there. Microsoft is monitoring that one over this one, please upvote the issue in there: https://aka.ms/AAbbn7g

    Hello MS,

    Using the reference tab in Word makes things so much easier and takes out so much time in projects creating and typing out references. Also, the convenience of not using an online tool makes the office suite more appealing.

    Thank you,
    Adam

    Looking back, it doesn't seem that Microsoft has commented on any suggestions since April 2020!! Please make this amendment as soon as possible, we've been waiting a year and a half already!

    We're begging, please, update to APA 7. It's so important to a huge chunk of your university-level client base.

    The biggest change I have come across is the use of et al. for in-text citations for 3 or more authors as opposed to more than 4 in APA 6. Please update to APA 7!!!

    Sick of having to manually input all my references & citations... takes up time that can be spent on research, fine tuning, & overall towards bettering the content of the paper rather than the formatting...

    My doctoral thesis is due in a few months, and I have done all my work using the Microsoft Word referencing tool. I have hundreds of references.

    Please please update it! And when you do please can you also add volume, issue number and DOI as recommended?

    Please add APA 7th Edition to word asap, urgently for all students across the world.

    Please hurry and help us out. It is rather difficult to try to use the refrences tab when APA 7 is now the required standard.
