How to use the automatic and instant features of Word to store your study references, insert citations, and generate a bibliography into your document.
Yes I was lost and now found. I have been finding it hard to insert my references and citations and somehow seemed to manage passing my modules. This video was basic easy to understand statement of what to do. Thank you very much from many years later !!
I cried so much trying to figure out how to do citations because, if it wasn't one format, it was another and my teachers never explained what I was doing wrong. They only told if I did it incorrectly and that was that. You're saving me!!
Uncle Mike, you have changed my life! In 4 minutes and 51 seconds you have turned me into a credible report writer. Thanks you from the bottom of my heart! Now to practice, practice, practice!
Thanks for the kind words, Charles. This is one of those features that turns one of the most despised steps of report writing into a joy. You might also want to check the newer video on making a table of contents. Again, a tedious task is done is a second.
Thanks for sharing, I was struggling APA style in Microsoft word now I am after watching this video a lot easier for me to do APA style for my paper. I am very grateful thanks again!!!
Thank you for making a very concise and informative video which I can share with others! A friend showed me this in college and I've been trying to tell others ever since!
The year, month and day if you are adding a website is the date one accessed it not when the webpage was made. According to both harvard and apa referencing
I don't have an uncle, and I'd have considered you as an uncle, Uncle Mike :D I haven't understood anything in this aspect from my professor for technical writing, and it's not like I wouldn't have figured it out, but it would have taken me much time to know any hidden secret, yet you clarified the whole thing straightly to the point. Regards, uncle
Adding proper references to a paper can be such a pain. In fact, for many students, writing papers is stressful and exhausting. But worry not. My name is Mary and I help students with their assignments. If you're tired of the pressure of coming up with high-quality papers, reach out to me via email (maryjoykimmy@gmail.com). Send me a message, and homework burnout will be a thing of the past.

This tutorial is based on your word document already has references setup and showed you how to edit existing references. One more step to show how to creat new references would be helpful for people who click into this video
Thank you for the video. I had used the APA sixth edition in a previous course I did. But in my current academic pursuit, my professors insist we use the 7th edition which is currently not in word. What do I do?
Thank you so much! May I know how do you cite more than one author for the same information in text citation (beside each other)? 'And how do you cite using the name in text then put the year such as in: John stated that ...., (2018), or you might say: John (2018) mentioned ... Thank you again!
This is good except when you use a direct quote you are required to cite the page number. Word allows you to do that but, your video does not show how or tell students that they need to provide a page number.
I will state that Word does not do everything for you. The page number citation has to be done on your own. Word only had basic citing and referencing tools. Purdue Owl can be a great reference on how to use other reference tools.
Thank U so much. I have a question though: Whenever I insert a citation, it always appears to be in default format of (Author, Year), e.g (Williams, 1945). However, in my text I sometimes have to paraphrase the sources, e.g "Williams (1945) said that..." or "According to Williams (1945), ...", so I need to cite sources in format of Author (Year) instead of the default format". Is there an automatic Word feature to do that and how? Thank you sir a lot.
you have to write the name of the author manually then go to incert the citation then edit citation then cross the author and title so the year remains
