Creating a Bibliography

If you don’t want the bibliography to contain a page number, simply open a new document and start with a blank page.

Bibliographical citations are usually written in a “hanging indent” style. This means that the first line of each citation is not indented, but subsequent lines of each citation are indented.

To create this type of style:

  • Type your citations.
  • Place your cursor at the beginning line of a citation.
  • Select FORMAT, PARAGRAPH
  • In the field entitled INDENTATIONS, select SPECIAL, HANGING.
  • Repeat this for each individual citation.
