How To Perform Referencing In Microsoft Word (Super Simple!)

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to perform referencing in Microsoft Word. I will also show you how to add citations and create a bibliography. Not many know about Word's built-in citation and referencing tool, so I'll show you everything you need to know in about 5 minutes. If you're serious about referencing in Word, I suggest looking into Zotero or EndNote - check out my tutorials below.

Thank you so much Steven, I've just started study again after 45 years, this referencing is a struggle. I have watched one of your Zotero videos and I'm now speeding along. I truly appreciate your videos, thank you. 🍻

[@tshiamochoane8537]

That video helped a lot! I'm not an academic but had to do a literature review style document and almost cried at the thought of manually adding citations.
Thank you so much Steven

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. A quick question - Where is the master list of references stored, please? I am asking from the point of view of back-up, if my computer crashes, or breaks down, then will master list be accessible to any Word file that I might have as a back-up, or do I need to do something special to back-up master list? Thanks!

Thank you so much!!

[@brianconway9085]

This is great, My tutor has asked me to have 2 lists in one document. 1 being references (Used articles in text). And 2. Bibliography for sources which i didn't cite in the text. I will try this but in case it doesn't work is there something else I should do? I don't know how to split the list.

[@iNBiSiLe]

You might have been able to use footnotes. What did you end up doing?

[@blueprint81]

Hi, can you help me with my reference list? At the end of my assignment. I have created the reference list with all the references, however, when i click on the list, it shows up shaded and a little box comes up on the left -hand side with the words "update citations and bibliography." I don't know how to get rid of this. thanks

[@maleehakhan49]

Same problem 😢

[@kevinj8190]

Thanks man 🙌

[@luisvega666]

I have 365 microsoft bur there is no option of styling etc. how i open all the options? I press reference and not there

[@TaniaShergill-ud5um]

Hey there!
What should you do when you didn't display style?

[@noryunus2262]

Thanks for the video. However, in APA 7th ed you use et al. for 3 authors or more in the in-text citation.

[@kalkidandaniel9799]

helpful!!

[@nuv1687]

My issue is at referencing list it doesn’t give the full names of the Authors

[@mrgianstarr]

You can change the referencing style. For typing a in full names e.g. John Smith and Jane A Doe., wrtie: Smith, John; Doe, Jane A

[@Meingataki]

[@StevenBradburn]
