Create a bibliography or works cited template for college students

V

Valleyaggie

I am a graduate student in English and as part of my course work, I am always
writing papers requiring bibliographies and works cited pages. I am
constantly fighting Word to make it understand that my book and journal
titles are supposed to be capitalized, or underlined, and that website
citations are not supposed to be underlined and hyperlinked.

I can't imagine that I am the only college student frustrated with this; my
classmates and I discuss it all the time.

Don't you think that it should be possible to create something in the Word
menu that lets the program know that we are creating a bibliography or works
cited?

Word will capitalize any word you like provided you press the Shift key. You
can keep it from formatting hyperlinks by clearing this option on the
AutoFormat As You Type tab of Tools | AutoCorrect. See also
