1. Open a piece of paper that needs typesetting. We take an unnumbered paper as an example to explain the automatic citation generation process from the beginning.

2. Let's number the references first, and the detailed process of numbering is shown in the figure.

3. Then, we put the cursor at the position where the reference needs to be inserted, and select "Cross Reference" in the "Insert" module of Word;

4. In the pop-up dialog box, select the literature to be cited; Note: The "Insert Hyperlink" option here can be ticked.

5. Click the "Insert" button, and the reference has been correctly inserted in this position;

6. When the number of our references changes, for example, the first reference becomes the third, we only need to select the previously inserted reference, right-click and select Update Field.

7. The reference will be updated automatically.
