Creating a "Works Cited" Page in Microsoft Word

 

To set up the Works Cited page using Microsoft Word, use the following speed keys as keystroke combinations.

  1. Ctrl 2 - sets double space
  2. Ctrl E - moves the cursor to the middle to center the title.
  3. Type "Works Cited" and strike enter
  4. Ctrl L - moves cursor back to the left side
  5. Ctrl T - strike this combination only once even though it appears that nothing happens. The computer is now set up to indent the second and successive lines a half inch.
  6. Type the works cited entry. Strike enter only to move to the next entry and NOT at the end of every line.

Hints:

  • Remember to alphabetize your entries by the first word (except a, an, the).
  • Do not number your entries.
  • Generally, each entry should have three periods: after the author's name, after the title, and at the end.
