CWYW 11: How do I get page numbers to properly show up in my citations? I've tried the "Edit Citation" command, and put the page numbers in the Pages field, but that doesn't work.

Answer: To properly add pages to a citation in a normal author/year output style:
  1. Click in the citation you would like to modify in Word.


  2. Word 2007: Go to the Add-Ins tab and choose "Reference Manager > Edit Citation."

    2000/XP/2003: Go to the "Tools" Menu and choose "Reference Manager > Edit Citation."


  3. Put the page numbers in the Suffix field here.


  4. Be sure to include any spaces or punctuation you want to show up between the year and the pages, as this is not placed in automatically. Most likely, you'll want to put in something like ", p. 123", without the quotes.


  5. Click the "OK" button, and your pages should now appear in the citation.

The Pages field is available here mainly for footnote citations, which are configured to use the special "Cited Pages" field. Most of our normal author/date styles do not include this field in the citation template, which is why the Suffix field is the correct field to use.
