  4. Select a category from the Category list, or select
    Category
    to display the Edit Category window. Select
    OK
    .
  5. In the Short citation field, edit the text so that it matches the short citation that you want Word to search for in the document.
  6. Select
    Mark
    to mark a single citation. Select Mark All to mark all long and short citations that match those displayed in the window. You can use the
    Next Citation
    button to go to the next citation in the document.
