Tutorial 4 – Referencing Guide Using Microsoft Word (Windows)

1. Go to References tab on Microsoft Word

2. Ensure Harvard Style has been selected
3. Select ‘Insert Citation’ button, and ‘Add New Source’.
4. Select the type of source you are using – the example here shows how to reference a journal article.
5. Make sure you are using the ‘Edit’ form for the author name – this will ensure that names are correctly formatted for in-text referencing and list of references.
6. Add the author’s name and click ‘Add’.
7. If there are more authors, repeat the previous step. Once you are done adding author names, click ‘OK’.
8. This will take you back to the ‘Create Source’ dialog box – your author names (correctly formatted) will be present now. Enter the rest of the source details e.g.
article name, journal name, etc., and then click ‘OK’.
9. Once you click ‘OK’ in the Create Source Dialog Box, you will go back to your document, where you will now have the in-text reference for your journal article.
10. If you need to reference the same article again in your document, you can find it by clicking on References > Insert Citation dropdown. Your references will be
added in the dropdown menu.
11. Once you have finished your assignment (adding in-text references as you go), and want to generate a List of References, click References > Bibliography dropdown.
Select ‘References’.
 12. This will generate your List of References, in correct alphabetical order.

Please note:

 This is an easier method to reference your assignments – however it will only generate references based on the information you provide. Please make sure you are
entering correct information to get correct in-text referencing and List of References.
 If you add more citations (in-text references) after you have generated your List of References, please ensure you click on the heading ‘References’ and select
‘Update Citations and Bibliography’
