Inserting Citations into a Formatted Paper in Microsoft Word

To add a new reference to an existing citation, insert the new reference next to (not within) the existing citation, with no spaces or punctuation between them, like this:

(Hockney and Ellis, 1996){Argus, 1984 #1}

Adjacent citations are merged during formatting, and the formatted citations are sorted according to the style:

(Argus, 1984; Hockney and Ellis, 1996)

Note: Do not insert a citation into the middle of a formatted citation. Insert it immediately before or after the existing citation, with no space between them.
