Citing Quickly

Usually you will insert your quotations into your document using the Citavi Add-In for Word or the Publication Assistant. If you just need a single quotation and its source information, you can also use the Clipboard. This can be useful if you want to let one of your colleagues know about a text passage, for example.

  1. In the Reference Editor, switch to the Quotations tab. Or highlight the quotation or thought in the Knowledge Organizer.
  2. In the Knowledge Organizer on the toolbar, click Cite and then click Copy to Clipboard.
  3. Switch to your document and place the insertion point where you want to insert the quotation or thought. Press Ctrl+V to paste the quotation.

If you don't see the bibliographic information, click Tools > Options > Formatting. In the Quote knowledge items as drop-down menu, click Text, citations, and bibliography.
