Question

I am trying to align my APA references, but the second line will not tab over. What could be the problem?

Answer 1

Are you using Word 2010? I am and I have the same problem.

Answer 2

Yes, It will not shift for me. Don't know what to do?

Answer 3

What is the page justification set to? At the top of the screen there will be a number of icons that show examples of how the lines on the page can be formatted, align right, align left etc. Here is a site that offers a tutorial on working with tabs. http://www.gcflearnfree.org/word2010/8 Hope it helps.

Thanks, that was helpful. Purdue Owl sent this too: 1) Highlight the entire reference list.
2) Click on the Paragraph tab, found in the toolbar at the top of the page.
3) In the window that opens, you will see a category labeled "Special," with a small drop-down menu below it.
4) Click on the drop-down menu and select "Hanging."
5) Click "OK," found at the bottom of the window, and you should have your hanging indent.
