Is the format of the reference difficult to understand? What should I do if the serial number of references in the paper is changed? The following are the tips I collected for you to automatically generate references, hoping to help you.

1. Insert the first reference as an endnote.

Place the cursor in the word document where you want to insert the reference, and then press Insert/Reference/Footnote and Endnote. The menu appears, and you can select "endnote" and "end of document" with the numbering format of "1, 2,3". Press the "Insert" button.

2. Enter the contents of the reference in the required format.

At this time, you will find that the serial number "1" in the text is in superscript format, which is what you want. But the "1" in the endnote is also in superscript format, which is not what you want. The rest of the formats are not what you want, don't worry. Use the mouse to select the serial number "1" in the endnote, and press the shortcut key "ctrl+shift+=" to make the serial number no longer superscript, or use the right mouse button to pop up a menu, select a font, and remove the "√" in the effect bar in the second menu.

3. Description:

There is a hidden box around the serial number, indicating that the endnote inserted into the manuscript is a kind of "domain" and need not be ignored.

Insert the second endnote in the same way. Word will automatically sort according to the position before and after.

There is a horizontal line in front of the first reference, and you will find that it cannot be deleted. This is called the endnote delimiter.

4. Delete "endnote separator"

Our general editing interface is called "page view". Select View/Normal to enter normal view.

Press View/Footnote, and the editing interface is divided into two parts. The edit box below is an endnote edit box.

Select "endnote" drop-down box in endnote editing box, and select "endnote separator", and a horizontal line will appear. Select this horizontal line, delete it, and then select "Endnote continuation separator", and a horizontal line will also appear (this is a long horizontal line that will appear when endnotes are paginated). Select this horizontal line and delete it. After closing, press View/Page to switch back.

5. Cross-reference

When you are in n (n > =2) Cross-reference should be adopted when citing documents that have been cited many times in the previous documents. Method: Press Insert/Reference/Cross Reference to open the menu. Select endnote in the reference type, and the reference content is endnote number. At this point, all the endnotes you wrote will appear in the menu. Select what you need, and then press Insert to complete the cross-reference.

(Note: If you later insert a new endnote in the previous document, the numbers of subsequent endnotes will be automatically updated, but the cross-references will not be automatically updated. What shall we do? Press "ctrl+A" to select all the contents, and then press "F9" to complete the manual update. )

By the way, how to automatically generate the directory.

1. First, make sure that all the titles of your paper are in the correct style format (for example, the preface is a first-level title, and then select "Title 1" in the style window, and the method is a second-level title, and select "Title 2").

2. Use the index and reference directory in the Insert menu, select the directory, cancel "Use link instead of page number", select "Show page number" and "Align page number right", select the appropriate tab leader, select the pre-displayed directory level, select the font and font size of the directory in the modification, and confirm the generation.

3. Every time the page number changes due to content changes, you can directly right-click the directory, select the update field and select "Update Page Number". If the title changes, select Update Content.

4. If the generated directory contains a lot of untitled contents, you can select these contents and select the clear format in the style window.

5. Before generating the table of contents, use the "Document Structure Diagram" in the "View", and the outline structure of your document will be displayed on the left side of the document. All formatted titles should be fully displayed and consistent with the third-level titles of the table of contents. Only when the document structure diagram is completely perfect can the directory be generated. Document structure diagram can also be used to quickly locate the editing part, which is very convenient to use.
