Ensure that you have no previous versions of Write-N-Cite (WnC) on your
computer. If you do, uninstall them.
Log into RefWorks
Click Tools  Write-N-Cite
You will see options on how to download. If you are using a MAC, you will be
given just one option. Click Download. If you are using a PC, you may be given
two options (32 bit, 64 bit). You will need to download the correct version.
To find out which version (32 bit or 64 bit) that you need, go to Microsoft
Word, click File then Help. Here it will specify if you are running 32 or 64 bit
Word. If you are running 32 bit Word, download the 32 bit version of WriteN-Cite. If you are running 64 bit Word, download the 64 bit version of WriteN-Cite.
Once you have determined which version of Word you are running, close
Word.
Once you have downloaded Write-N-Cite, find the file and open it to start the
installation. Follow the directions in the installation wizard. You may be
asked to download other software, such as .Net 4.0 or Microsoft Visual
Studio. If you are asked to download these, do so.
Once you have finished installing Write-N-Cite, open Word. You should now
see a tab along the top that says RefWorks (Windows).
If you are using a MAC, click View, choose Toolbars and click Write-N-Cite.
This will show the Write-N-Cite toolbar.

Using Write-N-Cite
Adding In-text citations



Choose the appropriate citation style
Start typing your paper/report
Place your cursor at the point where you wish to insert a citation. In the
RefWorks toolbar, click Insert Citation, then Insert New.

You can now view and select your references by clicking the Reference List or
by selecting citations from a specific folder. To try the latter, click the Folder
List and select the folder containing the reference to be cited.

Highlight the citation required and note that it appears in the Preview
Citation box below; click the OK button at the very bottom of this screen.



This will insert a citation in your text.
When citing two or more works together, click Insert Citation/Insert New,
then select the first citation to include in the text and click the + sign in the
Compose Citation box further below.


Then select the next citation (which inserts it in the Compose Citation box)
and click OK at the very bottom of the screen.
In-text citations can be edited using WnC4. Double-click an in-text citation
which opens up the Insert/Edit Citation window. In the Suffix bar, key in a
comma, space, the page abbreviation, space and the page number; click OK.
IMPORTANT:
The advantage in using WnC’s Insert/Edit Citation feature to edit in-text
citations is that the edits will not be deleted the next time you log into WnC to
continue working on your paper and add more citations. However, should
you choose to make any edits using Word (instead of the edit feature in WnC),
they will all be erased each time you activate WnC to add additional citations.
So if you prefer to edit in Word, either save such edits for the very end, i.e.
when all references have been cited, or keep a duplicate copy of your Word
document containing the most recent edits if you intend to add further
references.
Creating the Reference List


Once all citations have been added to the paper, place your cursor where you
want the bibliography/reference list to appear.
Click Bibliography Options, then Insert Bibliography.

This will insert a reference list in the style you have chosen.
IMPORTANT: Always check the in-text citations and bibliography for errors.
