It's easier done than said:. Place your cursor at the beginning of your citation, and highlight it. Right click your mouse. Select Paragraph from the resulting pop up menu. Under Indentation, use the Special pull-down menu to select hanging. Use the By menu to select 0.5' For multiple Citations in a References, Works Cited or Bibliography Page.
Once you've applied the hanging indent using the technique above, hit enter after your citation. If you are typing your citation it should keep the same formatting.
Sep 11, 2018 - You will need to install the Mendeley MS Word Plugin before using Mendeley citations in your Word documents. First make sure that all.
If you are pasting in your citation, right click when you paste and select the paste as text option (looks like a A on clipboard) and Word will automatically apply all the formatting you've already done, including hanging indent, spacing, font, etc. Alternatively you could wait until all your citations are on your bib, highlight them all at once, then use the 5 steps as listed above. The simplest is: 1. Put your cursor anywhere in the paragraph 2. In the ruler (up) drag the lower corner (triangle) to 5 (or any number you like) 3.

Presto, you are indented. Note: Notice your ruler has two triangle and one rectangle. Learn to play with those three bar. Edit by COM Librarian: This is certainly another option. If you can't see the ruler above your document: 1. Select the View tab 2. In the Show area, put a check mark next to the ruler option.
You will drag the bottom triangle and the little rectangle underneath it.

Hi zdgsfi It sounds to me like the other citations you tried to format were probably copied and pasted into your Word document, and it probably brought over some formatting with it. You can click the paragraph symbol in the Paragraph section in the Ribbon to reveal formatting. In 2010, it's the symbol on the top right of that area. Remove any unwanted breaks.
You can also try re-pasting, and choose to merge formatting or keep the text only, and one of those options should eliminate that formatting. If you keep the text only, be sure to change the font, add back any italics, etc. Mlitty, I am assuming you are in Google Docs/Google Drive? No, you cannot create a hanging indent in Google Docs they way you would in Word, but there is a work around solution: 1. After entering you citation, hit enter after the first line.
At the beginning of the second line of your citation, us the increase indent option on the Google docs toolbar. Your citation will now be both double spaced and have a hanging indent. If your citation has more than two lines, you'll need to hit enter after the second line as well, but the indent will already be there. Hi Joe There issue is probably that you brought over the formatting from the source from which you copied the text. To start fresh, highlight the text that needs the hanging indent, and then right click.
You will get two dialog boxes. The top one is for changing the font. Look for the button (should be to the far right) that says Styles, with a capitalized A and a paint brush. Click that, and a new box will appear. Choose the Clear formatting option, towards the bottom of the list. Now, keep the text highlighted and then follow the instructions for hanging indent. You will probably need to change the font style and size and add back in italics and that kind of thing.
The next time you bring over text, use the Paste button at the top left in the clipboard section. Click on the arrow at the bottom of the clipboard Paste icon. You will see 3 options to paste.
Choose the middle one, called merge formatting. This should pick up the correct formatting that you just applied so you don't have to take all of these steps again. Use the merge formatting paste option going forward.
If this does not work, feel free to contact us. You can either start a chat, if the library is open, using the chat box on the right hand side of our MLA LibGuide, or any other COM Library page, or email us at [email protected]. Hope this helps! Hi Word User The directions do still work for Word 2013. If you are having issues, you might need to remove formatting that was brought over when you pasted your citation. The command for this is in the Font section of the Home tab.
It's the icon with an 'A' and a red eraser. For instructions, go to this link: After that, highlight your citation again and follow the steps to create a hanging indent. Hi NCTM I'm not sure what you mean by Hanging Indent Toggle. Did you follow the directions in the original answer? When you paste your text, use the remove formatting button. To access the paragraph dialog box, put your cursor in front of the 1st line of text.
Right click with your mouse. Select the Paragraph menu. Then in the Indentation section, select Hanging from the drop down menu. Change the spacing if necessary, then hit done. It sounds like maybe you are using the Ruler tool. While I'm sure it's possible, that's harder to explain here briefly.
I edited a paragraph formatted as you describe using this method, and it worked. [email protected], you can still apply to your whole bibliography: Once you've applied the hanging indent using the technique above, hit enter after the citation. If you are typing your citation it should keep the same formatting. If you are pasting in your next citation as most people do, right click when you paste and select the paste as text option (looks like a A on clipboard) and Word will automatically apply all the formatting you've already done, including hanging indent, spacing, font, etc.
Alternatively you could wait until all your citation are on your bib, highlighting them all then use the same 5 steps as listed above. I am going to amend the answer above to include this info on how to apply to more than one entry in case anyone else is having this dilemma.
I am writing up a report in Microsoft Word and I need to include references. However, the style I am writing in requires that the references be written like.which is why they decided to attack 5. And not.which is why they decided to attack (The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World, 1851) However, Microsoft Word 2010 seems to offer no way to support this. I've searched everywhere I could and all tutorials show how to create either footnotes, or the second scenario presented above. Please let me know whether it's possible for me to do what I am trying to. I have figured out the answer. The style of Reference page I would like to use is called IEEE.
![How To Cite References In Word For Mac How To Cite References In Word For Mac](http://s3.amazonaws.com/libapps/accounts/20577/images/MS_Word_toolbar_on_Mac.png)
In the Citations and Bibliography section of the References tab, there is a menu for Style. If you select that, IEEE is one of the options. So overall the steps are:. Click Insert Citation Add a New Source. Enter the source into the wizard page. Now your citation is in the list when you click 'Insert Citation'.
Whenver you reach somewhere in the document where you want to refer to that reference, click Insert Citation and select it. When you are ready, generate a Bibliography by clicking Bibliography Insert Bibliography. NOTE: If you don't see the IEEE format as an option, you need to install it, as @Kesavan points out below.
If the link he provided didn't work, go HERE, download styles.zip, unzip it, then copy all the.xsl files (each representing a different style) into the folder C: Program Files (x86) Microsoft Office Office12 Bibliography Style or equivalent on your machine. I am on a Mac Word 2011 so the above answers were helpful conceptually. These were the steps that I needed to follow to get this working:. I got the IEEE.XSL style from Bibword (look for the Download button once there). Clicking the download button downloaded a styles.zip file. Extract the.zip file, go inside and copy all of the.XSL files (or just the ones that you want). Go over to Finder Microsoft Office Word.
Then Show Package Contents. Content Resources Styles. And paste the.XSL files there. Restart Word.
