Hello, I'm using the APA 6th style (current version) and the Word plugin. The Word version is Office 2011 and OS is Mac OS (Yosemite). The style works perfectly fine except that there is no hanging indent in the bibliography (there's simply no indent at all).

Word is definitely one of the most well-known and popular tools of Microsoft Office. This text editor and processor, despite being integrated into the office suite, can be purchased and downloaded as a standalone application.

Version after version (2003, 2007, 2010, 2013...) ever since it appeared in 1983, Microsoft Word has incorporated new functions to make the creation and processing of texts and documents much more flexible, becoming the favorite editor for millions of users and one of the best tools to write on a PC (or Mac in this case), despite the decent and serious alternatives available, such as OpenOffice and LibreOffice.

The leading text editor in all aspects.

Main features and functions

You already know what it is and what it's for but, do you know everything this office software is capable of doing?

• Create customized documents thanks to the flexible format tools it incorporates. Design documents according to specific needs.
• Generate PDF files based on documents or edit the ones you've already created straight from the application, being able to modify paragraphs, lists, and tables, as if you had created them on Word.
• Find whatever function or command you need from the smart search box.
• Support for collaborative work that will allow you invite other people to work in real-time in your group with just one click, allowing them to make changes to the documents that will be immediately updated in everyone else's view. In turn, it offers a change control so that everybody can keep an eye on the modifications made.
• Advanced correction tools that help to check the spelling and grammar and also offer suggestions to improve our writing.
• Support for the inclusion of graphical elements such as tables, charts, and images.

Word's formats

Although it's true that the International Standardization Organization (ISO) has chosen the OpenDocument format as the standard for the exchange of formatted text, Microsoft's format can be considered an unofficial standard. The popularity of DOC files, and subsequently DOCX with greater compression rates, have led to this situation.

In turn, the RTF or Rich Text Format is also present although it's not so popular. Its appearance has to do with when Apple dominated the PC market and it was necessary to make files compatible between Macintosh and DOS.

• The trial version can be used freely for 30 days.

The TOC (Table of Contents) field builds a table of contents. The TOC field collects entries for a table of contents using heading styles, other specified styles, outline levels, captions, or entries specified by TC (Table of Contents Entry) fields. Word inserts the TOC field when, you click Table of Contents in the Table of Contents group on the References tab.

Note: If the table of contents created by the TOC field affects the pagination of the document, you may have to update the field again to reflect the correct page numbers.

Syntax

When you view the TOC field in your document, the syntax looks like this:

{ TOC [Switches ] }

Note: A field code tells the field what to show. Field results are what’s shown in the document after having evaluated the field code. To toggle between viewing the field code and the field code results, press Alt+F9.

Switches that determine what's included in the table of contents

o 'Levels'

Builds a table of contents from paragraphs formatted with styles that include outline levels (most commonly, heading styles). For example, { TOC o '1-3' } lists only paragraphs formatted with styles that include outline levels 1 through 3. If no range of outline levels is specified, all outline levels used in the document are listed. Enclose the range numbers in quotation marks.

t 'Style,Level,Style,Level,...'

Builds a table of contents from paragraphs formatted with styles other than the built-in styles. For example, { TOC t 'chaptertitle,1, chapterhead,2' } builds a table of contents from paragraphs formatted with the styles 'chaptertitle' and 'chapterhead.' The number after each style name indicates the table of contents entry level that corresponds to that style.

Note: Syntax shown here uses a comma (,) between the Style and Level parameters. A semicolon (;) is also valid, depending on which character is specified as the list separator in your operating system's regional and language settings. Because of language-specific dependencies, we recommend not using the t switch in templates or documents that are intended for users across multiple language configurations.

You can use both the o switch and the t switch to build a table of contents from built-in styles and custom styles.

u

Builds a table of contents from paragraphs whose formatting includes outline levels applied directly, in paragraph settings.

c 'SEQIdentifier'

Lists figures, tables, charts, or other items that are numbered by a SEQ (Sequence) field. Word uses SEQ fields to number items captioned with the Caption command (References > Insert Caption). SEQIdentifier, which corresponds to the caption label, must match the identifier in the SEQ field. For example, { TOC c 'tables' } lists all numbered tables.
