Mark Entries for a Table of Authorities

Before you can create a table of authorities, you need to mark the text to be included. After an entry is marked, Word can include the page number on which the citation occurs.

The first occurrence of a citation is the long version, such as “Forrester v. Craddock, 51 Wn. 2d 315 (1957).” Subsequent references are the short version, such as “Forrester v. Craddock.”

To find the first long citation, scroll through the text. Select the text for the first citation, and then press ALT+SHIFT+I to display the Mark Citation dialog box.

Have Word search for citations   Word can search for common abbreviations that are found in long citations, such as v., ID., Ibid, Cong., Sess., or in re. In the Mark Citation dialog box, just click Next Citation. Format text for the long citation   To apply formatting to the case name, for example, select the text in the Selected text box of the Mark Citation dialog box, and then apply the formatting you want.
