Using Word 16 with RefWorks

There are 2 RefWorks add-ins that can be incorporated into Microsoft Word: Write N Cite and Refworks Citation Manager.

Users with Windows operating systems can install either add-in with Microsoft Word 2016. However, Mac users with Word 2016 will have to install RefWorks Citation Manager. Write N Cite will not install on a Mac that is running Microsoft Word 2016.

  1. Open Microsoft Word 2016.
     
  2. Click on the Insert tab (next to Home), then select Get Add-Ins.

  4. When you see the search result for RefWorks Citation Manager, click the blue Add button on the right.

  5. Log in to your RefWorks account to access your citations.
