Add a quote or paraphrase
- In your Word document click on the References tab
- Click on the arrow next to Style and select APA (this is probably already selected)
- Click Insert Citation and then Add New Source
- Fill in the citation details (check the example at the bottom of the screen) and click OK
- Your reference will now appear in your text
Create a bibliography
- In your Word document click on the References tab
- Click on Bibliography and then click Insert Bibliography
- Only the sources that you added by using the Manage Sources button are included in your bibliography.
For more information, click the Microsoft Office Help button (the question mark in the upper right of your document) and type in APA in the search box. To see some examples, you can take a look at APA guidelines with Word.
Note: the references Word uses are not always done strictly according to the APA guidelines as stated on this website. This is partly because the Dutch translation sometimes is too literal. For instance, Word sometimes uses different terms and puts the month before the day when listing dates. Make sure you enter your citation details correctly, because mistakes are not automatically corrected by Word.
