RefWorks allows you to automatically format references in Word documents in hundreds of citation styles, including APA, Chicago, MLA, and Turabian. Formatting can be done one of two ways: 1) using a utility called Write-N-Cite, or 2) copying and pasting from the One Line/Cite View.

Use Write-N-Cite if:

• your computer meets the following requirements:

  PC Users	Mac Users
  Microsoft Word 2000 and up Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000 or XP Internet Explorer 5.0 and up	Microsoft Word for Mac 98 and up Mac OS X version 10.3 or later

• you can download or have already downloaded a copy of Write-n-Cite onto your computer

Use One Line/Cite View if:

• you don’t have the above software loaded onto your computer
