Introduction

In the past chapters, you have learned to format text and documents. This chapter will address inserting citations, creating bibliographies, working with tables, and using the Mail Merge tool. Commands on the References, Insert, and Mailing tabs are discussed. When selecting a table in Word, the Table Design and Layout tabs appear on the tab row. Commands on these contextual tabs will also be addressed.

Citations, Bibliography, and Footnotes

When writing papers, citing sources can be a challenging task. With Microsoft Word, commands on the Reference tab have made this process much easier for the user.

Creating Citations

Using the tools in Word, the user can create in-text citations for citations styles. Chicago style, APA format, and MLA format are the most common citation styles. These are all parenthetical citation styles.

To create an in-text citation: The user needs to place the pointer at the end of the text to be cited. Select the Reference tab and select a Style type from the dropdown menu in the Citations & Bibliography group (Figure 1A). After selecting a style, click Insert Citation. Select a citation from the list or Add New Source.

To add a new source: Once the Add New Source is selected, the Create Source dialog box appears (Figure 1B). Start by selecting the citation source by clicking on the desired choice from the Type of Source dropdown menu. Based on the type selected, different fields will display. Click Show All Bibliography Fields in the lower left area of the box to see additional fields (see Figure 1B). When this box is selected, the required fields are indicated. Complete the required fields and click OK. A citation will be entered into the text, and this source will be listed on the Insert Citation dropdown menu (Figure 1C).

To cite from the same source later in the document: Place the pointer at the end of the text to be cited. Select Insert Citation in the Citations & Bibliography group on the Reference tab. Select the citation from the list on the dropdown menu.

To edit in-text citations: Click on the in-text citation. Click the down arrow on the right side to see Citation Options (Figure 1D). To edit the page number, select Edit Citation from the menu. Select Edit Source to revise information regarding the source, such as the title or author. Other options that the user can select include Convert Citation to Static Text and Update Citations and Bibliography.

Managing Sources

Word has a tool that allows the user to manage sources. To use, select the Manage Sources command (button) in the Citations & Bibliography group on the Reference tab. The Source Manager dialog box will open (Figure 2). The user can search for and sort sources. Sources can be deleted, edited, and moved to the current list.

Inserting a Bibliography, Reference List, or Works Cited Section

Once the citations are placed within the document, a bibliography, reference list, or works cited section can be quickly created.

To create: Place the pointer in the location where the bibliography will be. Select the Reference tab and click Bibliography in the Citations & Bibliography group. When the dropdown menu appears, select the desired format. The user can select either Bibliography, References, or Works Cited from the dropdown menu (Figure 3A). The desired selection will automatically be inserted into the document.

To edit or update the bibliography, references, or works cited section: Click into the inserted section. At the top, select the little icon on the left to switch between Bibliography, References, or Works Cited (Figure 3B). Select the right button (Update Citations and Bibliography) to update the section.

Inserting Footnotes and Endnotes

Footnotes are placed at the bottom of a page. If multiple footnotes are used in the document, superscript numbers (e.g., ⁵) are placed in the text, and the matching number is also at the bottom of the page followed by additional information. If footnotes are used infrequently in the document, an asterisk (*) is used for the first footnote and then a dagger (†) is used for the second one. (To add a dagger in Windows, hold down the Alt key and type 0134 using the numeric keypad. Do not use the number keys above the letter keys.) A footnote superscript number, asterisk, or dagger is usually placed at the end of the sentence following the punctuation mark (e.g., period).

An endnote is similar to a footnote, but it is placed at the end of the document just before the reference list or the bibliography. Usually, either footnotes or endnotes are used, but not both.

The footnote or endnote is used to cite a reference with certain styles, such as Chicago style. With APA and MLA, a footnote or endnote is used to provide additional information to the reader. These two styles do not use footnotes and endnotes for citations.

To add a footnote or endnote: Position the pointer in the location where the reference number will be placed. Select Insert Footnote or Insert Endnote in the Footnotes group on the Reference tab (Figure 4A). A number or symbol will be placed in the text. The pointer will be to the right of the number or symbol at the bottom of the page for footnotes (Figure 4B). The user can type in the information required after the footnote number or symbol. To return to the position of the footnote or endnote in the text, double-click the number or symbol at the start of the note.

To delete a footnote or endnote: Select the footnote or endnote in the text and press the Delete key. The reference in the text and at the bottom of the page or the end of the document will be removed.

Create a Table

Tables provide a way for information to be grouped and organized. Using a table in a document provides the reader with an easy-to-read format.

A table includes cells organized in columns and rows. The top row of a table usually contains the titles of the columns and is called the header row.

To navigate in a table, the user can use the mouse and click into a cell. A quicker way to move through cells is to use the Tab key.  The Tab key will move the cursor to the next cell to the right in the row. Using the Shift key + Tab key will move the cursor to the cell to the immediate left of the current cell.

Microsoft Word contains tools to insert tables. Thus, several options are available to the user.

• To automatically resize the columns to fit the content, click on the table. Select the Layout tab and click AutoFit (in the Cell Size group) and click AutoFit Contents (Figure 22D).

Alignment Group

The Alignment group is used to align text or change the direction of the text. The changes are applied to any cells selected. The following are commands in this group:

• Alignment buttons: Select one of the nine commands to align the text (see Table 1). The selected button is grayed.
• Text Direction: Used to change the direction of the text. This command can be selected multiple times to change the text direction (Figure 23).
• Cell Margins: Used to change the cell margins and the spacing between cells.

Data Group

The Data group includes commands to sort data, convert to text, and add formulas (Figure 24A). The following are commands in this group:

• Sort: Allows the user to sort a column either alphabetical or numerical order. To use, click into the table. Select the Sort command. Complete the options on the Sort dialog box, including the column(s) to sort (Figure 24B). Indicate if the table has a header row or no header row. When the desired options are selected, click OK.
• Repeat Header Rows: If selected, the header row is repeated if the table is split between two or more pages.
• Convert to Text: Allows the user to convert the table to regular text.
• Formula: The user can perform simple calculations like averaging the column of numbers or calculating the sum. This command is limited. If the user changes a number, the calculation does not automatically update like it does in an Excel spreadsheet.

Table Design Tab

When a user clicks into a table, the Table Design contextual tab appears on the far-right side (Figure 25). This tab provides the user with commands to change the appearance of the table. The following sections discuss the groups on the Table Design tab.

Table Styles Group

The Table Styles group is in the middle of the ribbon. The user can select from the gallery of table styles. A table style includes unique borders, font, and colors. Table styles do not include customized cell sizes (e.g., row height and column width).

To apply a table style: Click into any cell in the table. Select the Table Design Tab and click the More button (down arrow) in the Tables Styles group. The Table Styles gallery will open (Figure 26). Hover over the style to see the style applied to the table. The name of the style will also appear. Click the desired style to apply it to the table.

• Header Row: Add special formatting to the first row of the table, indicating it is the header row (Figures 27A and 27B).
• Total Row: Add special formatting to the last row of the table, indicating it is the total row (Figure 27B).
• First Column and Last Column: Add special formatting to the first and last columns (Figure 27A).
• Banded Column and Banded Row: Banded rows and columns help the reader quickly read the data in the table. Usually, a little darker color is applied to every other row or column, depending on what is selected (Figure 27B).

Borders Group

The Borders group is located on the right side of the ribbon (see Figure 25). These commands allow the user to change the style, weight (thickness), and color of the borders. The commands include the following:

• Border Style: Provides preset borders that can be applied to the cell(s).
• Borders: The menu is the same as the Borders command in the Paragraph group on the Home tab.
• Border Painter: Used to apply formatting to specific borders in the table.

Mail Merge

The Mailings tab in MS Word allows the user to create customized items, such as letters, emails, and labels. The Mail Merge tool is used to create these customized items.

The Mailings tab contains the Step-by-Step Mail Merge Wizard. This tool makes the customizing process easy and efficient. The user can also use the other tools and options on the Mailings tab to perform the same process as the Wizard.

This section will focus on the Step-by-Step Mail Merge Wizard. For the mail merge process, the user will need a document (e.g., letter, email, or labels) and a MS Excel worksheet with the information for each individual. The Step-by-Step Mail Merge Wizard allows the user a lot of flexibility. The document used can be templates, existing documents, or create documents. This document is customized by merging information from a MS Excel worksheet or a list the user created.
