how to insert a references section at the very end of a document
Hi,
How do I insert a references section at the very end of my document that references particular citations in the document? I should say that my document needs to conform to APA formatting standards. I've looked at one template, but it doesn't manage the references in any way. RSVP, Scott |

See if the "Text after endnotes" section in the article at
http://daiya.mvps.org/biblio.htm will be helpful. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Uncle Scotty" wrote in message ps.com...

how to insert a references section at the very end of a document
If you're actually trying to manage the references as opposed to just typing
them in at the end of the document, you might want to look into a reference management program like Endnote (www.endnote.com). It will automatically format your references into whatever style you like, and also helps keep them organized.

how to insert a references section at the very end of a document
Ok, I see from the feedback that it would be helpful to talk about what
I have and what I am trying to have, so here goes. I am in the process of writing a book that must conform to APA standards. Right now, I have ten chapters in 10 seperate files written in Word2003. Each chapter has endnotes that are to reference chapter contents and are to appear at the end of each chapter. I have a seperate file for my preface and acknowledgements. I have a seperate file for my index, and I have a seperate one for my references which are to appear at the end of the book. I have about two pages of references in total. So, I have created a new word doc, which will be the complete book. I have used Word's outline view to create a high-level structure to organize the book's parts (highest level), then chapters and finally subchapters, using heading levels 1-3. Next, I started to copy and paste the body of each part/chapter/subchapter into its respective location in the new file as a way of filling in the "meat" on the "bones". Now that this is complete, I want to add the remainder of the books- the preface and acknowledgements, TOC, index, end notes for each chapter and references. This is what I am trying to accomplish. Does this help? I guess I could just copy and paste the entire reference file, for one thing, at the back of my document, but it would be great if Word automated stuff like that and also formatted it to conform to the APA standards. So, what now?

how to insert a references section at the very end of adocument
Hi Scotty,
Ok, I see from the feedback that it would be helpful to talk about what I have and what I am trying to have, so here goes. Much more clear, and now people are much more able to give help. I am in the process of writing a book that must conform to APA standards. Right now, I have ten chapters in 10 seperate files written in Word2003. Each chapter has endnotes that are to reference chapter contents and are to appear at the end of each chapter. For that you will need section breaks between each chapter. Then set endnotes to "end of section". This assumes that you used Word's features to create the endnotes. If you have landscape pages or columns within a chapter, this might get tricky, with luck you don't have any. I guess I could just copy and paste the entire reference file, for one thing, at the back of my document, but it would be great if Word automated stuff like that and also formatted it to conform to the APA standards. Yep, that's the way to go. You'll need to paste it in and edit it yourself. Word 2007 is adding some citation management like you want, but you would have needed to set it up as you wrote the document, not at the end. Or the program like EndNote would have done what you wanted. I have a seperate file for my preface and acknowledgements. Plain text, just paste in. I have a seperate file for my index Ah, hmmm. If you did it manually, all the page numbers will now be wrong, and you probably want to recreate it using Word's features which will update the page numbers. Or give more information about what you want to happen here, and what you have. -- Daiya Mitchell, MVP Mac/Word Word FAQ: http://www.word.mvps.org/ MacWord Tips: http://word.mvps.org/Mac/WordMacHome.html What's an MVP?
