Word 2007 is dramatically different
from previous versions of Microsoft Word.
The design uses what is now called ribbons, and these ribbons present a
complete reorganization and reworking of the software.
![Page 3: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate the added functionality of Word 2007 and to
provide other suggestions that may ease and speed research writing through the use of the
newly available technologies.
The focus will be the reference ribbon of Word 2007, but brief comments will be made about
Google Scholar.
![Page 4: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The methods of undertaking literature searches has changed drastically in the past several decades.
The new tools within Word
2007, though, have recently
totally renovated the
documentation process.
![Page 5: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The primary focus will be the reference ribbon of
Word 2007.
![Page 6: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
In particular, we will examine the Citation and Bibliography area.
Footnotes are used to add information rather than to provide references.
![Page 7: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The first item to note is the Style.
The drop down allows you to set what style format to use in the
document.
![Page 8: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Once a document is typed, it is this easy to change it from one format to
another.
![Page 9: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Turabian
MLA
APA
So, reformatting a paper for a different journal is simplified.
![Page 10: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The next advance in writing is found with Manage Sources.
The description is misleading.
It is used to view the list of all the sources
TYPED into this COMPUTER
SYSTEM!
![Page 11: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Source Manager stores all references entered.You need not input that data for the next paper!
We’ll discuss more about this later.
![Page 12: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
First, we need to enter some data.
In a paper, when a citation is needed, the first step is to go to the reference ribbon and
click the Insert Citation Option.
![Page 13: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Three choices are available.
Add New Source lets you input data.
If you want to come back and do this later, add New Placeholder is available.
Search Libraries leads to the encyclopedia, dictionary, and other subscription sources that can be set.
![Page 14: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Add New Source opens
the Create Source Dialog box into which you enter the
citation information.
![Page 15: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
17 options are available in
the drop down for Type of
Source.
Choose the most
appropriate option.
![Page 16: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
For book, author, title, year, city, and publisher are the standard required inputs.
Author can be either people or a corporate author.
![Page 17: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Typing format is last name, comma, rest of name, semicolon, last name, comma, rest of name, etc.
The full name information should be entered, because different styles require it.
![Page 18: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Problem: To handle two worded last names such as Alexander von Humboldt the author must be
entered through the edit button to the right.
This enables the parts of the name to be identified. So von Humboldt can be entered as the last name and first and middle name pieces may be clarified.
![Page 19: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
When additional information is needed, such as state or edition, the Show All Bibliography Fields option will expand the form with the required fields marked by a
red asterisk.
![Page 20: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Book Section is used for a chapter in a book.One drawback is the requirement to re-enter the book
information for each chapter used.You can use Notepad to type that and copy and paste.
![Page 21: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Journal article must be expanded.
I have not found a way to default to full expansion.
![Page 22: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Standard Number can be used for the ISSN.No journal on-line option exists, so I have typed that
after the page information.
I have found no way to print the comments beyond VBA.
Volume and Issue are usually
required information
for academic sources, but
this is not marked.
![Page 23: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Article in a Periodical has identical input compared to Journal Article except for the option to include the
Edition. Bibliography formats must differ.
![Page 24: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Conference Proceedings adds Conference Publication Name to the standard inputs.
![Page 25: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The report option seems to miss a few possibly useful fields, such as month and date, but it can
all be entered in the year box.
![Page 26: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Web options are weak.Web site is inconsistent on entry between styles.
Most, not all, ask for Name of Web Site that is derived from the Window Title Bar. To change
forms, this should always be added.
![Page 27: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The expanded form is often necessary. Short titles, standard numbers, and comments are
additional elective entries.
![Page 28: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The second web option is “Document From Web site.” The unexpanded form is similar to the
previous form.
![Page 29: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The expanded form is, also, the same, but the printed format may differ between styles.
![Page 30: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The Electronic Source form may be the weakest.
![Page 31: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Other inputs for Electronic Source may include Volume, Year, Month, Day, Short Title, Standard
Number, and Comments.
These three forms fail to cover the diversity of web materials.
![Page 32: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Art citations differ as would be anticipated.
![Page 33: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Entries for sound recordings include Recording Number, Short Title, Standard Number, and
Comments.
![Page 34: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
When expanded, these include Producer Name, Production Company, Director, Short Title, Standard
Number, and Comments.
Performance is another
category with more
distinctive inputs.
![Page 35: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The expanded form includes Short Title, Standard Number, and Comments, also.
Another source type is Films.
![Page 36: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Other inputs include State/Province, Country/Region, Editor, Translator, Compiler, Pages, Short Title,
Standard Number, and Comments.
The Interview form is deficient, because it anticipates only published media rather than
personal researcher interviews.
![Page 37: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Another source type is Patent.
![Page 38: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Abbreviated Case Number, Short Title, and Comments are expanded input options.
The Case source type is especially important for legal writing.
![Page 39: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Further inputs include Publisher, Editor, Pages, Volume, Edition, Issue, Translator, Compiler, Short
Title, Standard Number, and Comments
Miscellaneous covers
additional source types.
![Page 40: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
If an error is found after entering the
source information, clicking the drop down arrow and
choosing Edit Source will reopen the
dialog box for changes.
![Page 41: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
To enter the page reference, click the drop down arrow, and choose
edit citation!
![Page 42: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
If you have used the reference BEFORE in
this document, it will be shown in the citation
listing. Click the Insert Citation icon, then find
the listing.
Click it, and the reference will be added
into the text.
![Page 43: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Then just complete the input by adding the page number if
appropriate.
![Page 44: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
If you have used the source in a previous document typed on this computer, the input is
retained by the Source Manager.
![Page 45: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
To open the Source Manager, click Manage Sources.
![Page 46: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The Source Manager enables search by Author, Tag, Title, and Year.
![Page 47: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Type into the search box, and the entries from the Master List will be displayed, with one entry
Previewed at the bottom.
![Page 48: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
For example, here the search for Fink shows five works have been entered, and one has already been used in the current document.
![Page 49: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Other master lists can be accessed by the Browse button.
![Page 50: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
The source file by default is located in c:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Microsoft\Bibliography\sources.xml
I recommend that this file should be backed up and archived to another system periodically. I’d hate to lose all of this data entry!
![Page 51: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
When the paper is finished, clicking Bibliography will begin the production of
the list of resources used in the document.
![Page 52: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Two formats are indicated, Bibliography and Works Cited.
![Page 53: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Clicking Bibliography will add the formatted bibliography to the end of the
document.
Current paragraph formats may dominate.
![Page 54: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
If the heading is not desired, the Insert Bibliography option will add the bibliography to the document.
![Page 55: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
If changes are made after the listing is appended, click the Update Citations and
Bibliography and all corrections will be made throughout the entire paper!
Changes are not retained until the paper is saved, including the Source Manager.
![Page 56: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
These capabilities facilitate note taking.
Instead of doing note cards, I recommend maintaining a note document. Use a subject, quote, and the bibliographic entrance for each piece of data as
ONE PARAGRAPH.
![Page 57: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
When the notes have been completed,
alphabetize the list by using the sort capability of
Word 2007. From the Home menu, choose the alphabetize
option.
![Page 58: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
This will group the similar subjects for sorting and organizing the paper.
![Page 59: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
After organizing the notes, quotes can be lifted from the note document into the
paper, and the reference chosen through the Word 2007 functionality.
I highlight the note document showing the materials already used in the paper.
![Page 60: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Another research tool advance is from Google, www.google.com.
![Page 61: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Under the more drop down choose Scholar to access Google Scholar.
![Page 62: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
The search engine has collected links to scholarly works.
So, a search for a researcher will produce links and references for the author.
![Page 63: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Traditionally, researchers use the
references from relevant work to locate additional source materials.
In this manner, we trace the research back through time. Finding more recent
work was a huge challenge.
![Page 64: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Now, Google Scholar provides a Cited by link.
![Page 65: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
This provides links to research that includes this work in their bibliographies!
![Page 66: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Thus, this brings the themes forward in time.
![Page 67: Warp Speed Your Research Writing Using Word 2007](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815d46550346895dcb4dd2/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Excellent
scholarship has never before been this
easy!
