17 There are two options to use when you are writing a paper. You can download a program which works with Microsoft Word and RefWorks (Write-N-Cite 4) or use the One Line / Cite View within RefWorks. The quicker and recommended approach is to use Write-N-Cite.

Download it for home use: Ensure that all instances of Microsoft Word are closed Log on to your RefWorks account. 1. Go to Tools > Write n Cite. 2. Click on Write-N-Cite for Word. 3. Click Save and choose a location for the installation file. 4. If you get an Internet Explorer Security Warning: The publisher could not be Verified ignore this and click Run. 5.

For more detailed instructions on installation go to: Cite_for_Windows_(June_2012).htm If you have any problems installing Write N Cite, you may not have the requisite software installed.

Do not log out of your Write-N-Cite account, unless you are working on a public computer without a personal log-on. If someone does gain access to your Write-N-Cite tab on a public computer, they will be unable to edit references. All changes need to be initiated from your RefWorks account. Editing a Citation 19

22 Inserting Footnotes into your Paper 1. To ensure your selected style supports footnoting, make sure Notes appears somewhere in the style description. To locate the style description: a) From the RefWorks tab in Word, go to Style: b) Click the arrow and scroll down for a full description, e.g.: 2. Select Insert Citation > Insert New. In the Insert/Edit Citation window, find the required reference, check the Make Footnote box. 3. Click OK and check that your footnote is correctly formatted. 4. If you need to edit your footnote: click to highlight it, then double click to open the Insert/Edit Citation window. From this window you can also add footnotes or delete your footnote. Syncing your Database and Removing Field Codes Syncing your Database When you open Write-N-Cite, it starts a syncing process to download any changes you ve made in your RefWorks account. If you make a change to your RefWorks database while you are working on a document in Word you can use the Sync My Database button to integrate any changes immediately. 22

23 Removing Field Codes When you insert citations into Word, they have hidden codes attached to them. These codes allow RefWorks to format, un-format, and re-format citations. If you are going to submit your work to a publisher or another situation where the document will be re-formatted, it is preferable to remove the field codes from your document first. Remember to save a copy of the original document with the field codes first, without the field codes attached, you will not be able to edit or update your citations. To remove the field codes: In the Write-N-Cite Extras area, click on Remove Field Codes. After the workshop, we recommend you practice the skills you have learnt. Try: Adding articles and books you have already read. Saving a copy of an old assignment. Put the citations in using Refworks. 23
