This document discusses the Write-N-Cite tool for RefWorks which allows users to write papers in Microsoft Word while inserting citations from RefWorks. Write-N-Cite places temporary citation placeholders in the Word document and automatically generates references and a bibliography in the correct style. It requires downloading a small program to access RefWorks citations from within Word. The summary outlines the basic steps of accessing Write-N-Cite, inserting citations, and generating the final bibliography.
