Answer

APA style requires that quotes over a certain length be formatted as block quotes. To format ion Word:

Type in the quote as you normally would.
Highlight the quote.
While text is still highlighted, click on the indent symbol (see blow) in the ribbon/toolbar. The default is .5", which is what APA requires so that should be all you have to do.
