About Cite Formatting

Checks legal citations and lets you apply chosen fixes directly; footnote citations in some Word Online storage setups require manual editing.
The Cite Formatting tool checks citations in your legal document and suggests the correct citation format. Use the Cite Formatting tool to:
  • Identify legal citations (cases, statutes, court rules, regulations, constitutions, administrative decisions, and journal and law review articles) in your document.
  • Suggest citations from The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation, the ALWD Citation Manual, or a citation style specific to a state.
  • Apply correct formatting directly to your document while giving you complete control over which citation changes to make.
When Word Online is used with some online storage platforms, citations in footnotes must be modified manually by the user. For ease of modification, citations located in footnotes will be grouped at the end of the extracted citation list. To modify a citation within a footnote, first open the footnote then select the relevant citation text to be modified.
