Microsoft Word 2007 has made it even easier to cite sources with the REFERENCES tab on the Ribbon. If you remember the days of creating bibliographies and works cited from scratch, you’ll appreciate how easy Microsoft has made it in Word 2007!
The first step is to choose the style you want to follow. On the REFERENCES tab, in the CITATIONS & BIBLIOGRAPHY group, click on the arrow by STYLE. This will give you many choices to choose from, and will determine what information is available when you create your citations.
When you’re ready to add a citation, click on the INSERT CITATION button on the REFERENCES tab. You will see a list of all sources already created in your document, and also buttons to allow you to create new sources.
If it is a new source, choose ADD NEW SOURCE. A box will pop up allowing you to enter pertinent information about your source. If you don’t have all the information yet, you can choose INSERT PLACEHOLDER and return to add the citation later.
Once you’ve added your citations and their sources to your document, choose the INSERT BIBLIOGRAPHY button to insert a bibliography into your Word document.
