Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knew of an easier way to reference and cite. I may just be really silly and don't know how to do it on Word or I'm not searching up the correct thing to fix this problem. Referencing the layout I have no problem with but the laborious and painstaking time it takes to make sure references are in order is a nightmare.
1. Order of citations e.g. (1) to the reference list. Quite often I change the order of my writing or add more references, which means I have to change the order of my citations and then renumber my ref list. Is there an automatic way to connect the citation with the reference? and also if a reference gets added say between (1) and (2), (2) will automatically change to (3)?
2. Another issue I sometimes have is when I'm writing long essays or a thesis with about 70-80 references I can quite often add references to the list that become duplicates. This issue is me just being lazy and not wanting to look over my list for duplicates.
3. I tried the word citing and referencing tool but it makes you type the whole reference in different sections, so I can't just copy and paste to add, which also is a lengthy process.
I may just be naive and have been living under a rock for not knowing a simple way to fix it. Let me know any suggestions.
