Research? Go back to school with a cool tool!

To quickly create a bibliography using the Word 2007 or 2010 Reference tools:
  1. Choose the tab on the ribbon for References to find the Citations and Bibliography tools.
  2. The Style you choose from the list (i.e. APA, MLA, etc.) will determine the format for citations in the document.
  3. Click the button to Insert Citation.  
  4. Choose Add a new source, and then choose the Type of Source (i.e. book, journal article, etc.) from the drop down list.
  5. Fill in the blanks , click OK when you are done, and let Word do the rest! Continue to add citations as necessary - Word will remember them for you. 
  6.  When you are done with your research, click the button for Bibliography, choose a style, and Word will automatically create the bibliography for you from the Citations you entered. Slick!!
