How to Cite While You Write in Word Online

The steps required to cite a reference and generate a bibliography with Word Online are given below.

First, open the EndNote sidebar and set your viewing options:

  1. Open the document you are writing in Word Online to enable the Word Online toolbar.
  2. Select the References tab, then click the EndNote button.
  3. If prompted, log in to your EndNote Web account within Word Online. When you are logged in, you should see the EndNote sidebar appear at the right of the screen. Select My references to show the references in your EndNote Web library.
  4. If you have a large library and wish to limit your search for references to a specific custom group in your library, select the All References drop-down, and then select the group you want from the list. The All References label will then change to the name of your group, as in the example shown below.
