APA 7th Edition for Microsoft Word

Until (unless) Microsoft gets around to adding a template for the latest version, this is the APA 7th Edition XSLT modified by Mike Slagle, plus the two additional fixes posted in the comments found here. This way, if other changes are needed, this file can be updated.
