Hi How do I update APA style in Pro Cite? My prof really nailed me on my citations, he said they where NOT correct and I used APA style in the pro cite program. What am I doing wrong? Karl V.

Hi Check to see if its APA 4 versus version 5. The Procite.com website support area has an updated file. On your computer find the styles folder and change the old file name to something similar (APA4 or ?) and then put the new file in the styles folder. You may find the citations looking a little bit different as a few changes were made to the APA style. Hope this helps.

You haven't given an example of your bibliography so its hard to tell what's wrong. I think some of the styles provided with ProCite may be out of date and thus need modifying to bring them in line with current style requirement. Open the APA style via: Files>Open> and navigate to the Styles folder and then open APA and modify it as required. There is an up to date comprehensive description of APA at: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/r_apa.html =================================== Dr Philip E Stanley Cambridge Research & Technology Transfer Ltd 48 Glisson Road Cambridge CB1 2HF England Email: /> ________________________________________ From: PROCITE The Personal Bibliographic Software Discussion List On Behalf Of kvbinns Sent: 28 November 2005 16:07 To: /> Subject: Re: APA Style Hi   How do I update APA style in Pro Cite?  My prof really nailed me on my citations, he said they where NOT correct and I used APA style in the pro cite program.  What am I doing wrong?   Karl V.
