HOW TO AUTO-GENERATE THE LIST OF REFERENCES/BIBLIOGRAPHY IN MS WORD

Steps

While writing your document, I advise you to always fill the Sources in MS word Reference tool. This will help you to avoid plagiarism due to forgetting.

Ø  Click> REFERENCES (At the Citations & Bibliography section, In the Document Formatting (From Scratch) Template, I will use the “APA” Style. You are free to use any style depending on your preferences)

Ø  Manage Sources

Ø  New

Ø  Fill in the required information (By Selecting the appropriate Type of Source [book, article, journal, etc.] and filling all the other fields)

Ø  Ok

Ø  Ok

Do the same to all sources that you want to reference in your References/Bibliography. In the Document Formatting (From Scratch) Template, I entered 2 references to serve as an example.

Ø  Now Place your cursor below the area that you want to insert your References. In the Document Formatting (From Scratch) Template, I placed the cursor just below the descriptive words of the References section.

Ø  Click> REFERENCES

Ø  Click>Bibliography

Ø  Select the Format of your preference. In the Document Formatting (From Scratch) Template, I used the second format.

At this stage, an auto-generated References will appear from the point you had placed your cursor.
