DESCRIPTION
1. Footnotes
Footnotes are numbered citations or comments that appear at the bottom of the page. A superscript number will appear in the text whenever a footnote is added. Chicago and Turabian are two common styles that use footnotes for citations. Add footnotes to your document with the Insert Footnote button.
2. Endnotes
Endnotes are similar to footnotes, but instead of appearing at the bottom of the page, they appear at the end of a document, chapter, or section. Use Insert Endnote to add an endnote to your document.
3. Footnote and Endnote
Dialog Box
This dialog box is used to modify the style and formatting of footnotes and endnotes. For example, you can choose a different reference format, such as using letters or symbols instead of numbers. You can also choose to restart the numbering of notes after each page or section.
4. Citation
A citation is a formal acknowledgement that a piece of information in your paper originated from another source. Citations typically include the source’s author and year of publication. For specific ideas or quotes, citations may also need page numbers. You can insert a citation into your document by using the Insert Citation button.
5. Source
In an academic paper, readers will be interested in the publication details of a cited source. Common sources include books, journal articles, and web pages. The Manage Sources button opens the Source Manager dialog box. Here, you can view the sources in your current document, as well as sources you’ve entered into previous documents. You can also preview citations and bibliographic entries as they’ll appear with the currently selected citation style.
6. Bibliography
A bibliography is a complete list of the sources used in a document. Bibliographies typically contain more publication details than citations, such as the complete name of an article and the name of the journal in which it was published. Bibliographies are created by using the Bibliography button. Once created, a bibliography can be updated to include new sources by selecting the bibliography and then clicking Update Citations and Bibliography.
7. Citation Style
A citation style is a set of guidelines for formatting citations and bibliography entries. Citation style guidelines are typically published by academic or professional organizations. Examples include the American Psychological Association (APA), Modern Language Association (MLA), and the Chicago Manual of Style. Citation styles can be selected from the Style drop-down list.
Insert Formatting Images notes
Use images that positively contribute to the message you are attempting to convey to your audience:
Introduce tables, charts, and other images before they appear in the text.
Label and number images when your document includes several images, so you can refer to the specific images from within the text.
For online documents, use hyperlinks and pop-up windows when referring to an image that is not immediately adjacent to the text.
Choose the most logical type of text wrapping, size, and placement for the images in your document.
Don’t overuse images in your document; too many images can make your document cluttered and hard to read.
For creative documents, use one picture as the main focus. Use other, smaller images to support the main focus or to highlight details.
When inserting and formatting images, consider the following:
Choose the file format with the smallest file size that also provides the quality you need. If you need part of an illustration to be transparent, use a format that supports transparency, such as GIF, PNG, or WMF.
Add arrows, callouts, or other shapes to draw attention to areas or to clarify images.
For high-quality printing, use images that are saved at a high resolution.
WordArt, SmartArt, and Other Illustrations
When using WordArt, SmartArt, and other types of illustrations, consider the following:
Use WordArt to enhance the text in creative documents.
Use SmartArt to create flow charts, organizational charts, schematics, and other graphics that show relationships between concepts.
Use charts to clearly communicate the meaning of data in reports and business documents.
