Working with references MS Word

Welcome to Mahe's home page!

Working with references is similar as with figures described above.  First, lets take a list of references, enable numbering by highlighting the list first, then right-click on the list, select "Bullets and Numbering".

In the dialog box, select the numbering style, then click OK.

Now, we have a proporly numbered reference list.

Then, we need to insert it into the text.  Place your cursor to where the reference is to be inserted, then click "Insert" -> "Reference" -> "Cross-reference".

In the dialog box, select "Numbered item", "Paragraph number", then the reference you want to insert, click "Insert".

This inserts the reference into the text. And same as how it works for the figures we showed above, when reference list is changed, they can be updated automatically by using Ctrl+A (or, just highlight the part of the text where the references are inserted), then press F9.
