I'm using Word 2007's Citation and Bibliography feature in a large word document. The document is in English and its language is set as English. The citation style is set as APA. Still, when I place citations in the text, it uses an Icelandic citation format.

It should say (Johnson et al., 2012, p. 17) but it actually says (Johnson et al., 2012, bls. 17).

How can I replace "bls." with "p."?

Currently: Document's language is set as English (US), OS (Win7) is in English (US), keyboard is in Icelandic. Also my "MS Office Primary Editing Language" is set as English (US) and Icelandic isn't even enabled as an editing language.

Still when I create a new document, its language is automatically set as Icelandic. I don't understand why and I don't want Word to even think about Icelandic, since there is no Icelandic support anyways.

The simple solution I can always revert to is to eventually convert them all to static text and use find and replace. However, I would really like to find the setting behind this.

Click References on the ribbon and choose Manage Sources, select any citation and then click Edit. What language in upper right hand corner of the dialog? My bet is it set to Icelandic and that is what language your sources are set to by default. Change the language for existing citations to English and when creating a new source make sure that the language is set to English specifically and not to Default.

Press Ctrl+H on your keybord in first field input , bls., second - , p.. Push "Replace all" button. If ypu aren't sure, that all was correct you can use buttons "Find next" and "Replace" to replace one by one
