What is the easiest way to use Harvard Referencing in Word.

[garfield-n-odie [MVP]]

Depends on whether you know what Harvard referencing is, and
whether you have 10 references or 1,000 references.

We have just been shown at college how to use it and i will probably have no
more than between 50-100, from a range of sources such as books, journals and
the internet. just wondered if there was an easy way to keep track as i was
going along rather than trying to add them all when i finished, which could
be several weeks later.

Word doesn't really have any built-in support for the Harvard
style of references. There are some good third-party
bibliography programs such as Endnote, Reference Manager, and
ProCite that support this function within Word, but they are
somewhat expensive and have a somewhat steep learning curve. In
my humble opinion, they don't save you *that* much time when
you're dealing with only 50-100 references, even if you are
proficient with the software. If I were you, I would just create
a blank page at the end of your paper and start listing cited
references alphabetically there. By the time you're done, the
references list might be 6 or 7 pages long, but that's not so
hard to navigate through to add/edit/delete references.

Dear Garfield,
thx for clarifying that the most common reference system (Harvard) is NOT
provided for, do you know by any chance whether any university or any good
soul has written some addin that one could download?

THANK YOU

You could try the Harvard style I wrote a couple of weeks ago. I had
some issues finding consistent citing for the Harvard style so it
might not be exactly what you want but with a little xml knowledge you
might be able to tweak it to your personal preferences. The most
complete one is based on the Leeds university guidelines (hence the
name Harvard Leeds). You can find it at
