Write-N-Cite, now called ProQuest for Word, is a free tool which allows you to cite references in a manuscript with the click of a button.  To use Write-N-Cite / ProQuest for Word with RefWorks you must download a small utility program to your computer.  Select the version which matches your computer systems.

Formatting In-Text Citations using the Utility

• In a Word document, click the point where you want to insert a reference.
• Switch to Write-N-Cite and click the Cite link next to the correct reference.
• Write-N-Cite automatically inserts the opening and closing curly brackets as well
• as the Ref ID, Author Last Name and Year.  This is called a Citation Placeholder. It is not what your final citation will look like.
• If you want to modify or remove information that will appear in the formatted citation, click on the Edit Citation link in the upper right-hand corner of the Write-N-Cite window.  
• To cite a second reference in the same location, click the Cite link for the second reference. The reference information is automatically inserted in the same set of curly brackets.
