RE: citation in Microsoft Word

Oh. Now you've used the magic word: "ribbon." I'm guessing you're in Word
2007, in which case I can't help you because things have changed so much in
that product. Sorry! I hope someone else can chime in here for you.

Okay, I'm in Word, I have a source that I have to cite in the paper itself.
I go up to the top and click on reference on the top ribbon, then click on
insert citation, then new source. After I type in all the information from
the source that I am quoting, I click insert and {CITATION Golo4\1 1033} is
inserted right behind the quotation marks. Unfortunately when I go in to
confirm the source it shows this...(Invalid source specified.) I have about
3 main topics that I am writing essays for and haven't had a problem with it
until in the last two days..which is very unfortunate since the papers are
due in a week. It is doing throughout all my papers not just ones that I am
currently adding references to. Going into other papers, some I can right
click on and it says toggle fields and then the actually reference name will
come back and not the citation thing...but I still get the Invalid when I try
to make a works cited page. In other words, if I can't get this to work, I
am going to have a hand write about 25 resources in at least 50 pages of
work..not to mention having to do the works cited page by hand as well. I
hope I explained it better. I hope you or someone can help..I'm getting
desperate.

How are you doing the citation? I've always done
Insert -> Reference -> Footnote
and then typed it out either as a footnote or an endnote. Is this not
working for you, or are you trying to do it a different way?

I can't figure out how to get the actual citation to appear in my paper. It
comes us saying {CITATION Bar 87/11033} but when it comes to printing it is
says invalid source specified and thats what also comes up when I toggle
field codes. This is so important because its coming up like that in all my
papers and this is for college classes.
