When using an author/year style such as APA 6th, you must also include the page number inside of the in-text citation along with the author and year.Different citation styles require direct quotes to be cited differently. One such example for when you might need to edit an in-text citation is direct quotes. Note: This editing changes individual in-text citations, not the full citation in the bibliography.


Most of the time the standard in-text citation is enough to provide within your document to cite your reference, but there are specific occasions when a more detailed citation is required. There are two types of citations in a Word document, the bibliography at the end of the document with the full citation, and the in-text citation that appears at the point where the reference is directly cited, which is a notation (usually the bibliography number or the author name/year) to identify which full citation in the bibliography it is referring to.
