APA published its 7th edition last year. However, the reference functionality, as well as the APA template on your website, have not been modified to correspond to the new changes. There are numerous students in universities across this country and around the world who rely on Word's reference functionality to keep track of references when conducting necessary research aimed at helping humanity. As numerous individuals have reported this, it is imperative the Microsoft address this issue as soon as possible.

It appears the report rate for this topic is minimal, but there are hundreds of thousands of students who need the functionality to continue working on their dissertations and research studies.

The Microsoft organization understands numerous universities and institutes of higher learning have purchased Office 356 for their students to use. As such, the organization has a responsibility to those students, and their inaction in addressing this issue is not acceptable.

I look forward to a response concerning the issues outlined above and when we can expect to see updated reference functionalities as well as updated APA 7th templates to be available for student use.

Respectfully submitted,

A concerned student.

Desperately need APA 7th edition style references for college. Please change it from 6th edition style ASAP.

I really appreciated using the APA 6th edition style references for my papers. It saves sooo much time and nit picking entries for many references from so many different sources.

Now that APA has made the 7th edition, all the professors want APA 7th edition reference pages.

It is an unbelievable hassle to redo every reference. I have to keep referring to the APA website to figure out what little changes need to be made here and there. It is such a waste of precious time when Microsoft Office 365 (that I pay for) could update the reference section.

Please do it sooner, rather than later.
Thousands of students will be very grateful!!

How about bringing to Word a feature to allow us to capitalize titles according to some standards like APA, Chicago, AP, MLA, NY Times, Wikipedia, or others, instead of just capitalizing each word or sentences?

Example of title on the APA style:

What stroke of insanity possessed someone at Microsoft to remove the autocorrect function from Word? Word 365 was working just fine, with autocorrect, until I allowed Editor in on the game. It disabled autocorrect. I am a technical/science writer with an enormous custom dictionary, which I can no longer add to! Editor comes up with a pathetic choice of words, which is useless. Do you realise how much time this is costing me? Not to mention the SIX HOURS I have spent this week with two Level 1 techs, two Level 2 techs, and finally a Level 3 tech who checked out solutions overnight and regretfully informs me there is NO SOLUTION!!! For Gods sake Microsoft, put autocorrect back NOW! You are hobbling millions of writers and making life impossible. Get out in the real world and talk to writers who actually use your product. Please. Pretty please. GIVE ME BACK MY AUTOCORRECT!!!!!!!!!

Why shouldn't the text mark delimiters also be displayed when activating the format symbols (¶)?

Here is my explanation: By default, Word does not show the brackets for the bookmarks. If you change a letter at the end of a bookmark, you have no chance to position the insertion point correctly. When troubleshooting, it took my colleagues and me hours to find the mistake.

Unfortunately, the command to show the bookmarks is also hard to find. (BTW: Here is space for another improvement.)

That's why I suggest that, as in Libreoffice, you can also show the bookmarks in Word by pressing the format symbol (¶). (This is what my colleagues and I tried first when troubleshooting).
