Hello all, I am new to EndNote and I have a few questions about APA 6th stlye and formatting. Is there a way to automate more of the APA 6th styles & formatting, for example, placing a book  ttitle in italyics? It wopuild seem that EndNote would follow APA 6th styles & formatting very closely IF APA is chosen. Am I reading too much into this? I am running X4, would X5 handle this better? Thanks, William ---

Thanks for reply. Inside EndNote X4, I have the APA 6th selected, but unless I manually italicize the title within ‘Quick Edits’, the Preview does not show the title italicized. Make sense? Inside Word, I have not set APA 6th anywhere that I am aware of, but I’ll look ito that as well. Thanks, William ---

Just curious but since you said you selected the APA 6th output style, is the APA 6th appearing in the library window (see attached image)?  If not, then the APA style has not been selected which may explain the difference in font formatting (i.e., use of italics). If the APA 6th does appear as shown in the image, then what reference type is missing the italic font? ![APA 6th selection.gif](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/endnote/original/2X/0/073d6fac6c2fefa3b2246b9127955e8beb18b226.gif) ---

My EndNote page looks like yours with APA 6th in the pull-down menu that you circled. William ---

What do you mean by ‘download a fresh APA 6th’? A new reference correct? I just chose APA 6th from the drop-down menu. ---

It appears to me that something is not consistant. I am referring to an article in a journal. While working only in EndNote X4 (not in Word), with APA 6th checked in main window, why are each word of the article title cap’ed when it’s previewed? Some seem to be correct per APA 6th but most are always cap’ed. Am I the only one seeing this? Am I using it wrong? Thanks, William ---
