How to Cite Sources With Word 2007

1. Record the place where you get each piece of information that you will later use when doing your research for your document. Note all of the following that are applicable to the source: title, author(s), page numbers, chapter, publication date, publisher, publication city, editor(s), volume and issue number, journal title, website, and date of access on the website.
2. Click on the 'References' tab at the top of the Word 2007 window. If you wish to cite sources using footnotes or endnotes, simply click on the applicable button ('Insert Footnote' or 'Insert Endnote') and type the relevant information into the footnote or endnote. Refer to any directions you were given, as well as a style guide (such as Purdue University's Online Writing Lab) to ensure that you cite your source correctly.
3. Look for the 'Citations and Bibliography' choice on the Ribbon after clicking on the 'References' tab at the top of the Word window. Select the citation style that is applicable for your purposes (APA and MLA are the most common).
4. Click on 'Insert Citation' and then 'Add New Source' from the 'References' tab. Choose the type of source and fill in all relevant information. Click 'OK' when finished.
5. Click 'Insert Citation' and choose the appropriate source when you're ready to use a citation in your document.
6. Insert a bibliography at the end of your document. Click 'Bibliography,' then choose the style you like. Edit the bibliography to suit your needs.
