Previewing Formatted References or Styles

The Preview subpanel in the Reference panel of the Library window displays how the currently selected reference will be formatted in the bibliography by the current style. This Preview subpanel shows only one reference at a time.

To preview how multiple references will appear in a bibliography:

  1. Select the references in the reference list.
  2. From the Tools menu, select Output Styles and select the style that you would like to use.
  3. From the References menu, select Copy Formatted Reference (⌘+K).
  4. Paste (⌘+V) the selected references into a word processor document to see how they would look formatted with the selected style.
