How to insert References
When you click on a collection name you will see a list of the articles that you have saved. Put your cursor in the place in the document where you want to insert a reference and then click on the article you want to insert.
How to find the place where a reference was cited
If you click on the button showing the number of times an article was cited that reference will be highlighted in the document and Word will scroll to that item. If it is cited more than one time click several times to iterate through every place it is cited.
How to find a particular reference
You can search for references in the search bar at the top of a collection. Right now we only have the functionality to search within one collection at a time. The search functionality is the same as the one in the web application. So it is ordered on relevancy based on the title and abstract combined.
How to delete a reference
If you want to delete a reference simply erase the citation in the Word Document and then press the Refresh Button.
How to insert Bibliography
Put the cursor where you want to insert the Bibliography and click the Insert Bibliography button. This should automatically refresh when you insert new references, but if you notice discrepancies you can press the Refresh button and the references will be updated.
How to Edit the Collections
If you want to edit the articles you have saved in a collection you can go to papershive.com to edit your collections. Links to this and other good resources can be found in the Hamburger Menu in the add-in footer.
