citation font

[lynneann123]

For the past few days, any APA citation I insert into my document is
italicized. It never used to be, and I don't know how to change it. I use
the bibliography/works cited tool, so the only way I know to work around this
is to stop using the tool.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I use MSoffice 2007 on Vista right now, but it has happened in Windows 7 as
well.

I have had the same issue with custom made reference styles but never with
the ones that came with Word.

In my case, it had to do with the fact that the in-text citation was, due to
some weird conversion reason, formatted using the Heading2Char style.
Changing that style to be no longer italic fixed things. Note that the
Heading2Char style is actually a linked style coupled to the "Heading 2"
style.

You might want to try the style inspector to see if something similar is
going on in your case.
