Do you know if Microsoft will update the MS Word 2007 citation maker to include the revisions to APA & MLA which took effect in March(?) 2009?
Hi Rita,
I haven’t heard that news, although I think it would be necessary. Perhaps MS Word has made available an update that you could use to upgrade the citation maker. You could do a quick check to see if the upgrade is automatic by entering MLA citation information for a book and seeing if the title is underlined (old rules) or italicized (new rules).
All the best,
Lindsay
I just bought MSW2007 for school, called MS tech support to inquire on how to get 2009 updates for MLA and APA. I was asked several questions,how old my computer is, what kind it is,what type of virous protection I have,and What type of internet service. Afterword I was told that something was corupted on my computer and only he could install the updates for $139.99 and how would I like to pay for that?MY COMPUTER IS ONLY A YEAR AND A HALF OLD ! WHAT KINDA RACKET IS THIS MICROSOFT BUSSNESS, ALL I WANT IS CURRENT MLA !
I want to take this oppertunity to thank you for this visual, step by step walk through of APA format it was truely a God send! I have been trying to get it right for over a week with no guidance and when turning in a rough draft all I got in feedback was use proper APA format, so in short considering this is the first time I have ever used APA it helped dramaticly.
Tiffany, I’m glad that that this helped!
