If you need to insert citations into a Word document, Office 2011 for Mac offers the Citation feature to help you. Citations describe the source of a quotation, passage, figure, or data, and they follow a particular formatting style.
Handwritten signature in Office 2016 Mac I'm running Microsoft Office 2016 on my MacBook, and I need to insert a handwritten signature to my Word document without using a scanner. In the Insert ribbon, I'm missing the option to insert a signature line and I'm not sure what to do.
To activate the Citations feature, follow these steps:
- Switch to a view that supports the Toolbox, such as Print Layout view, by clicking the Print Layout button at the lower-left corner of the document window.
- If Toolbox isn’t showing already, click the Toolbox button on the Standard toolbar to display it.
- Click the Citations button (second from the left in the top toolbar) to activate the Citations tab.
In the Citations tab of the Toolbox, you have the following options:
- Citation Style: Click this pop-up menu to choose from four different styles: APA, Chicago, MLA, and Turabian.
- Citations List: Word maintains a list of your citations. This option shows Word’s master citations list filtered by the selected style. Select a citation; then double-click it to insert it in your document at the insertion cursor.
