Hi @Henri BONDAR

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum. 

Based on your description, looks like you are missing Bibliography styles.

I found an article might help you.

All but two bibliography styles are missing from MS office word; what - Microsoft Community

First, press Windows + R, paste in %appdata%\Microsoft\Bibliography/Style

You'll see a folder like this. Select the one that appears in Word (APA and MLA)

Open with Notepad and find this <xsl:when test="b:Version"> by using Ctrl + F.

Copy the middle block code and paste it into the missing ones. Change the name APA to the name of the reference style.

<xsl:when test="b:OfficeStyleKey">
        <xsl:text>APA</xsl:text>
      </xsl:when>

Save and close it. Open Word again. It should appear like usual.

I hope this information helps.
