Section 4.1
- This section discusses tools you need for creating a report.
- You should have a solid understanding of this section as I think it is very important.
- Almost everything in this section is on the Reference tab.
- Before you start a document
  - Select a style that is appropriate.
    - Or even search for an appropriate template.
    - Perhaps your destination has one.
  - Use the style to mark everything you can.
  - Review the options in the style section, or even make your own.
- When using forms and templates, or anything
  - Make sure you fill in all of the boxes, or delete them
- I am starting with this document
  - Copied from the Wikipedia article.
  - I marked the title, subtitle, headings and subheadings with the style.
  - I have deleted most reference marks
  - I left some references at the bottom for our use.
- Create a source.
  - You need to cite sources, otherwise you have plagiarized
    - Or represented another's work as your own.
    - This includes ideas.
    - But I bet you have heard this before.
  - Word has a citation manager.
    - This is a primitive database.
    - Like any database, if you don't add good information you will not get good results.
    - Follow the instructions and formats given.
    - Provide as much information as you can.
      - Different citation styles require different information.
      - You may change styles.
    - If you work in an area, you will reuse your sources and it is nice to have a preformatted reference.
  - There are other citation managers,
    - Endnote
    - RefWorks
    - Others.
- On the Reference tab, in the Citations & Bibliography section select the style you need to use.
  - If it is not there, you can sometimes add it.
  - Or Microsoft tells you how to create one yourself.
- Create a source
  - Insert Citation -> Add New Source
  - Or in Manage Sources dialog.
  - Pay attention to the example field.
  - [1] in the text should be
    - It is an Journal Article
    - Author: Bird, Elizabeth
    - Title : Top 100 Picture Books Poll Results
    - Journal Name: School Library Journal
    - Year 2012.
    - Pages: OnLine (or blank)
  - There are already several entries in the manager, replace [2] with Lebduska
    - Manage Sources
    - Copy to active sources.
    - Select the correct citation.
  - [3] IS NEA
  - [4] is Marris
- Build a bib
  - Next page break (new section)
- Footnotes and Endnotes are reasonably straight forward.
  - Use the tool
  - Make sure you are WHERE YOU WANT footnote mark to be.
- TOC
  - If you have marked things properly, a toc is trivial.
- Cover page.
- Captions and Table of Figures
  - I would do this last.
  - Captions are not quite right.
  - Renumbering sometimes causes a problem
  - And sometimes pictures get lost.
  - I would build a table which contains the picture in one cell and the caption in another.
  - Then move the TABLE, not picture.
