its a weeee bit late to let you know...your video's are Weeeeee good (seeing Microsoft word Bibliography explained).. details are to the point and am simply blown away. Thankyou. Stay safe.. GOD BLESS (Belated Christmas to you and your family.. Happy New Year 2020)
Hello, thanks for the helpful video. I wonder if Word can classify the bibliography into categories according to their type? For example, gathering all the book references in a separated list, the web pages in a list, the reports, etc.
Hi, @Lindsay i just intall Microsoft word to follow your video instructions but the version i download ( the last one) it sosent have the tools you show in your video. Is not a MS word. You know how can i solve this?
Dear Lindsay, thanks for the tutorial, It's very usefull. I have a litlle problem with the references, I hope that you can help me. I manage my bibliographic sources of the same matter of the video, but something looks different when i insert them. In APA format, the bibliography entry is: (a) Bajaj, M. (1990). Dividend Clienteles. Journal of Finances, 26, 193-219. In APA format, the citation is: (b) (Bajaj, 1990) But when i select >References>Insert Citation> Choose the reference, appears the following: (c) (Bajaj, Dividend Clienteles, 1990) I don´t know why. I have 30 references, and only with 4 happends (c). The rest, it's all right (b). Thanks for your time. Greetings since Chile. Braulio.
The problem is not the list that must appear at the end of a research doc but the citations inside the text and being sure they are all reported in the ref list at the end of the doc. This is the major problem that I don't know any way that WORD is capable of doing at ease for the user. I've always made this tough work by hand and it is really time consuming and prone to human errors but the human errors can be fixed while the machine errors cannot be fixed easily. I don't know this is due to my limited knowledge of WORD despite years of using it or it is a inherent flaw in WORD that does not give attention to the real needs of research workers who type their articles using WORD
Hello Lindsay! Or anyone who can answer my question :) Do you know any way to make the bibliography like that: [1] Authors: The Title. Publisher, City 2008. ? I want to insert the numbers into the document and [ square brackets ] are needed... And I would like to do the separate list (1 - X) of books (for example) and web sites (X+1 to the end). Is there any possibility to do that? Do I have to write a new style, but I have no idea how to do that... I'm not a programmer :)
I can not find out how to import all my sources from MS word 10 to Word 13. When I tab through the browse sources and try to open the source page it finds it does nothing. Can you direct me where to find how to do this. too many to recreate.
+Foxymoxya So sorry I missed this comment... Sounds like you did a clean install of 2013- if you did so, your sources would have been wiped during that process. Do you back up your computer and have copies of those back ups? If so, you should be able to recover your sources there.
Thanks for watching this video. I would love to help, but without more details, it is hard to guess what your issues might be. Are you asking how to insert the bibliography you managed into your document?
Thanks for asking! If you look at the References dialog that opens when you create a new entry, you can also edit the one you already have. When you open the dialog box, select the reference you want to change, look for and select edit and you will be on your way. Good luck, Lindsay
Mrs Henning, I am impressed of your prompt reply! What I mean is the name of the citation within the text that you would have! For example, in your case "Fogler", "Henning" and "Odgers" (The values that word put automatically in the bibliography section). These names I meant how we could change. The names that will appear within the text. For instance, I would like to have within my text number 1, number 2, number 3, etc, that will then correspond to my number 1 bibliography reference! So, how Fogler becomes number 1, Henning becomes number 2, etc. so as to have a result like: 1. H. Scott, Strategies.... 2. Lindsay, E-Portfolio..... 3. Patty, Administrative.... Apologies if my message is too long :) ,and thank you very much for your time.
Ahhh... that is something else again. OK, so you don't want to update the master list, you really want to update the citation you placed at the end of your quote or reference, correct? Depending upon which version of Office you are using, the following steps might be different. You should be able to hover over your citation and see a box surrounding that citation (like it is highlighted). Single click on your citation and you should see a pull-down arrow appear. If you click on that arrow, you should see choices- one of them will be 'Edit this Citation', another 'Edit this Source.' Click on Edit this Citation to change what is in that space, Edit the Source to change the info in your Source Manager. Something to think about (sorry, I just have to put my teacher hat on here...). What you propose to do, how you propose to format your citations are really more like "Inserting a Footnote" (a specific action in Office), not building a Bibliography or Works Cited list. If you are doing this for a school paper, I would recommend you confirm the writing style your teacher is requiring. Is it APA? Chicago 16? MLA? Each of these styles have their specific requirements to follow when listing your sources and then citing them in your paper. Thanks for asking! Lindsay
