Citation using MS Word

Microsoft Word offers a citation generation feature that helps with the proper formatting of citations and bibliographies in your document. This feature is located under “References”. It allows you to insert citations into the text and then generate a bibliography (references list). However, this feature does not allow you to manage, edit, modify, or store original sources. For example, you cannot save a PDF article, highlight text in colour, or write notes using Word’s citation function.

You can find more detailed information on the Microsoft 365 support page: Create a bibliography, citations, and references.
