Bibliography or table of references

[R C]

Hello everybody,
We am trying to write a long document that should in the end look like a
book or thesis. We figured out how to use footnotes, toc, and index. What we
cannot seem to figure out is how to write a bibliography. We looked at
"Table of authority" and "endnotes", but both didn't seem to work.

What we need is the bibliography in the end of the document. It should be
numbered. It should appear in the text as "referenced word [1]" or
"referenced word [1-4, 7]". The superscript format is already taken by
footnotes.

Does this need to be programmed with vba or can it be done simpler.

By the way, it should also work if the document gets split up in master
document with sub documents.

Thank you for any suggestions.

Best regards,
Regine

If you are using numbered references that are listed in the order in which
the references appear in the text, you can use endnotes. For what you want,
however, which I would imagine is an alphabetized, numbered reference list,
create an ordinary numbered list. Where you want to reference the sources in
the text, use Insert | Reference | Cross-reference to Paragraph number of
Numbered item, then select the appropriate reference(s).

Dear Suzanne,
thank you very much for your help.
I tried your technique, it works, but has the following limitation:
If I would make a list as you suggested and reference my words in the
document
it works fine. If I update the list, i.e. I insert a new reference between
two existing
references, it does not update the numbers in the document accordingly.
I hope that you can help me. I am really stuck and your way is way better
than
what I tried before.
Thanks in advance,
Regine

Hi Al

I tried your technique, it works, but has the following limitation:
If I would make a list as you suggested and reference my words in the
document it works fine. If I update the list, i.e. I insert a new
reference between two existing references, it does not update the

numbers in the document accordingly.

It will update when you trigger Word to do it. With default settings,
that would happen when you switch to PrintPreview and back, for instance.

A CTRL A (SelectAll) and subsequent F9 (UpdateFields) will work, too.

I had an odd sense of déjà vu when I read this post, and an odder feeling
when I read Bob's reply (and none from me). It turns out that my identical
response was sent in reply to AL's duplicate email.

Why don't you think of using dedicated software. I suggest reference
manager. Helps much in the generation of ref. lists.
