Formatting a Bibliography

Changing a bibliography's formatting

When you use the Word Add-In, the appearance of the bibliography is determined by two things:

The citation style controls the spacing between entries and whether individual entries have a hanging indent.
The paragraph styles in Word define font type, size, and alignment (i.e., whether your text starts on the left or if it should be justified).

To change the appearance of the bibliography (font, paragraph spacing, etc.), modify the following styles in Word (see these instructions from Microsoft):
