Create an Annotated Bibliography Using Refworks and Word

- Open a Word document. The instructions below are based on the online version of Word, not the desktop application.
- Paste the bibliography into the document, keeping the source formatting.
- Change the title from "Works Cited" to "Annotated Bibliography" or "Annotated List of Works Cited." Confirm title requirements with your instructor.
- Use the Citing Sources Guide to fix any errors in the citations.
- Select all the text in the document by highlighting it or pressing the Ctrl+A keys.
- While the text is highlighted, click on the three dots on the far right of the menu bar to access the paragraph settings.
- Hover over the "line spacing" option from the drop down menu. Click on "2."
- Click to move your cursor to the end of your first citation (after the final period).
- Again, click on the three dots on the far right of the menu bar.
- Hover over the "line spacing" option from the drop down menu. Click on "Remove space after paragraph."

- Again, click on the three dots on the far right of the menu bar.
- Hover over the "special indent" option from the drop down menu. Click on "None."
- Write your annotation. When done, highlight the text of the annotation.
- While the text is highlighted, click the increase indent button twice to indent the annotation 1 inch from the margin. This button is located in the middle of the menu bar and looks like 5 horizontal lines with a blue arrow pushing them to the right.
- Repeat steps 10-17 for each citation.
