Video tutorial on in text citation and referencing using Microsoft Word

There is a very easy way to do intext citation and referencing. In this video, it will focus on

1. APA format
2. Microsoft Word 2007, 2010, 2013
3. Advance in-text citation

Any format (style can be learned)

See the bold area? It’s a quotation.
First, we are going to cite at the end of the quotation. Click the reference tab.
Select your style. I am going to choose A P A style. You can choose which one you want.
Now, click manage resources from the reference tab.
Click, New, to input a new reference.
Select the reference type. I will use the Book.
A box with a few black fields will appear. Now you have to fill it. I will collect information on the quotation, and I will fill these fields.
Try to find all the information, however, if you don’t find it. Leave it blank.
Click Okey.

If the new reference is not on the current list, select it from the master list. Then click copy to send it to the master list.

Now, click insert citation from the reference tab. Click the citation you want to insert. Remember citation will be inserted where your mouse courser is. To correctly position it before you insert it.
When a reference is a direct quotation, it is important to mention the page number. To do that click on the in-text citation. Then click edit citation. And then input your page number. Click ok.

And this is the basics of creating in-text citations. Now I am going to delete it. And show you how to insert an in-text citation at the beginning of the quotation.

When you are using in-text citation at the beginning of the quotation you cannot use the author name because you have to use it like this
Capital punishment is defined by Kronenwetter then the in-text citation then the quotation.
To do that we have to exclude the author's name from the in-text citation, and have to manually write the last name of the author.
Click insert citation, then click on the inserted in-text citation. Click edit citation. Click exclude author.
Now, remember what I said about a direct quotation? Yes! You have to insert the page number. But some style does not support inserting page numbers at the beginning of the quotation.

So again insert citation at the end of the quotation, then exclude, title, author & year input page number. And you are done. Easy Right?
