Default Change number of shown authors in refernce style

I've already created a bibliography of about 150 references in APA style in 2007 version.. but I noticed that not all authors names are shown, there is a limit of authors for each reference, is it possible to show all of authors always?

Is it possible to change the references style of all the 150 references in order to select another style that shows all authors?

The APA referencing Style dictates how many authors should be shown (5), after which you should have the first author's name followed by et al. See: http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/20...apa-style.html

And regarding the second question? is it possible to change the style of an already generated bibliography?
I've already created all the references, already put all the authors of all the references and I need them all to appear in the References section.

Well, you can apply a different referencing Style at any time (via the Citations & Bibliography>Style dropdown) but they all have their own rules and, if you're supposed to be using the APA format, citing more than 5 authors is a violation of the Style. Besides which, most of the others don't even look like the APA Style.

Thanks, I'll take a look at them.. I need that at the Bibliography section (not along the text) all authors and all info appears, for example APA style besides not showing all authors also the ISBN is not shown

Well, if you look at the APA Style, I doubt you'll find the ISBN to be part of any recognised reference. It seems to me you're trying to cobble together something that doesn't conform to the APA Style and instead want to something of your own.

Do note that, when you change the referencing Style, Word changes it throughout the document and the referencing formats Word uses aren't fully compliant with some Styles.
