365 Word Reference tab

Question

I have just purchased 365 for a MBA Program to I am up-to-date.  According to my professor, the latest writing style for "Chicago" is 17th edition.

Why is 365 not up-to-date because it is still showing 16th edition?  This leads me to believe that ALL the others are not up-to-date also, i.e., APA, MLA etc.

Answer 1

You are right, MS is VERY slow, several years, to update bibliography styles. Updating bibliography styles is the bottom of the priority pile for MS.  They MAY get around to making these updates in 2 or 3 years.  There is no money, and no preasure to encourage MS to spend money on making these updates.

.

Ask your professor how he would recommend automating the bibliography.  I know, they are typically snobs who don't care how you do it, as long as you do what they want. But sometimes they provide a useful answer.  Like this college did (wrong style, but just an example):

APA   7 @0How can I download the Word APA 7 template?https://bowvalleycollege.libanswers.com/faq/202831

.

You can create a "feedback" at MS to let them know you need the update. Get your professor to get all of his students to submit the same sort of feedback, or to vote for yours.  1 vote work, but maybe if you can get thousands or 10's of thousands they will act.

.

As aymericb51 said, most likely option is 3rd party tools. I can give you some names I've collected, without specifically recommending any of them (same reason, I don't use them). Your other option is to find a template that someone has created and is willing to share (like example above).

.

Another option is to contact the publisher of the Chicago style and find out if they have a template, free or paid, that you can get.

KnightCite is an online citation generator service provided by the Hekman Library of Calvin College.

Answer 2

Hello !

You're right : it seems like Microsoft still hasn't updated Chicago writing style to its latest version. Unfortunately, there's no way to update or change it quickly :(

You're better off with a third party software or addon. However, I am not able to recommend you a good one, because I never used this feature of Word.

Sorry for the inconvenience :(
