help Microsoft Word (Advanced Features) FAQ

Which citation styles can Microsoft Word generate?

Word includes styles such as APA, MLA, Chicago, IEEE, ISO 690, and GOST. The available revisions can vary by Word version, so a university's required edition should still be checked.

Can Word reuse a source in several documents?

Yes. Word's Source Manager keeps a Master List of saved sources and a Current List for the open document.

Does Word update a bibliography when a new citation is added?

Word can regenerate the bibliography from the document's cited sources. After adding a source, click inside the bibliography and choose Update Citations and Bibliography.

Is Word a replacement for Zotero on a large thesis?

Usually not for a research-heavy project. Zotero offers browser capture, shared libraries, and a much larger style ecosystem, while Word's built-in manager is better suited to straightforward documents.
