Some hints for using MS Word to create a list of sources

Use hanging indent format to indent second and succeeding lines: Format / Paragraph / Special / Hanging It is easier to put the items in alphabetical order as you enter them. If you need to sort in MS Word you have to put the text in a table: Highlight text; Table / Convert Text to Table / Separate text at … Paragraphs / OK. This will sort the items in the list. One warning, if you have articles (a, an, the) leading off titles, they will be sorted by the article. This will place the item in the wrong place alphabetically since articles are not considered in alphabetization (See A Guide and The Wizard below). In order to sort correctly leave the article off until you’ve completed the sort. After sorting, convert the table back to text by highlighting then: Text / Convert Table to Text… / Separate text at Paragraphs / OK.
