Using Microsoft Word To Reference


Microsoft Word is really useful in helping to reference. In assignments, you have to reference citations from various sources, such as books, journal articles and websites, to support your work. The Harvard Referencing guide shows you how to reference correctly in your work, what you need to include and in what order. For example, author, date, location of publication, publisher. 
          I found that using Microsoft Word, there is a feature which allows you to type in your reference, and it inserts it into your work using the Harvard Referencing format (Word 2010). You don’t have to use the Harvard Referencing guide; there are other options too, such as APA sixth addition. It also stores your references you have used and there is an option to put together a reference list or bibliography. This is helpful, as if you want to use a reference which you have used before, you can look it up in the history and use it again.
