Hi there, 

I'm not sure if I described what I'm looking for well.  I know what format it needs to follow for APA 7th edition (ie. figure 1, title etc..) however I'm wondering if Microsoft has specific requirements as to what information they require put into in-text citations for these images.  Do I legally have to link to microsoft somehow or insert a quick © Microsoft 365 after the title.  If there are no known legal requirements, I will simply follow the APA 7th requirements and include all the info I do have.

Thank you!

Hi DomBai1,

Thanks for your further information, please don’t mind my incorrect suggestion.  

As you know, there is no official article to introduce the legal requirements for adding in-text citations for royalty-free stock images. To have further confirmation, you can contact the Microsoft Public Relations resource to have accurate information and results. 

Please don’t mind that we can’t provide accurate information about this query, appreciate your cooperation. You are welcome to contact us if you have any questions when using Microsoft 365 products. We will try our best to help.

Best Regards,
