Did you know that it’s easy to create a bibliography based on common citation formats in Microsoft Word? I describe how, below.

Microsoft office 2011 update 15.0. But first, let me share one student’s story… the inspiration for this post.

A few months ago, we were asking students about how they write a research paper. Jon, a freshman at a local community college, had just completed a huge term paper that counted for a large percentage of his overall grade in a class. While describing how he wrote this paper, he told me he hated writing bibliographies because he couldn’t remember the proper format for citing sources. Unaware that Word has a built-in solution to his problem, he had turned to an online alternative.

When I told him about the citation generator in Word he said, “Word does what? Where’s that at?” Ouch.

Microsoft screen share with mac. Anyone may request permission to control screen: This means the person connecting won’t be required to type your Mac username and password to control the computer. You can leave Remote Management enabled (and configure it similarly) since the instructions for accessing your Mac are identical.Under “Computer Settings,” you might want to enable the following options:. He or she can simply request control, and then you can manually grant it. You can also click “Computer Settings,” enable both settings, and then set a secure password.Keep in mind if you enable Remote Management, you can’t enable Screen Sharing. VNC viewers may control screen with password: If you enable this, it allows anyone to connect to your Mac via a standard VNC viewer, like.

In Microsoft Word 2007 and Word 2010, you can automatically generate a bibliography of the sources you used to write your paper. Basically, every time you add a new citation to the document, you also create a new source that will appear in the bibliography.

Since it’s that time of year, again, and students are busy researching, gathering references, and writing papers, I thought I’d share this information with you. So, if you’re like Jon and don’t like writing bibliographies, here’s how you can insert citations into Word and format bibliographies using common formats, such as MLA, APA, and Chicago-style.

To add a citation after a quote:

  1. In your Word document, click on the References tab in the Ribbon.
  2. In the Citations & Bibliography group, click the arrow next to Style.
  3. Click the style that you want to use for the citation and source.
  4. Click at the end of the sentence or phrase that you want to cite.
  5. Click Insert Citation and then select Add New Source.
  6. Type in the citation details and then click OK.

When you’ve completed these steps, the citation is added to the Insert Citation button, so the next time you quote this reference, you don’t have to type it all out again.

If you want to create a bibliography from your sources, do the following:

  1. Click where you want to insert a bibliography. Typically they are at the end of a document.
  2. On the References tab, in the Citations & Bibliography group, click Bibliography.
  3. Much like the Table of Contents builder in Word, you can select a predesigned bibliography format that includes a title or you can just click Insert Bibliography to add the citation without a title.

If you want to learn more about using citation placeholders and editing sources, have a look at Creating a bibliography in Word 2010 or Creating a bibliography in Word 2007. Or if you want to export your bibliography sources to another computer, check out this post on the Microsoft Word blog.

There’s one issue with the APA 5th Edition citation style I want to call out. APA style uses the author’s name and publication date. If you have multiple citations from the same author, there is a known Word 2010 bug where the citation generator fills in the publication title when it’s not supposed to. If this happens to you, here’s how to fix the problem:

1. In the Word document, click the citation.

2. Click the down-arrow and then click Edit Citation.

3. Click the Title checkbox and then click OK.
