FAQs

Is the Microsoft Cite Extension a free feature, or does it require a separate purchase or subscription?

The Microsoft Cite Extension is typically included as a standard feature within Microsoft Word for Microsoft 365 subscribers and perpetual license holders. It does not usually require a separate purchase beyond your existing Word license.

What citation styles does the Microsoft Cite Extension support, and can I add custom styles?

The extension supports common styles like APA, MLA, Chicago, and Harvard. While it offers a good selection, adding highly custom or obscure styles directly within the extension can be limited. Users often need to select the closest available style and manually adjust.

Can I import existing bibliographies or reference lists from other citation management tools into the Microsoft Cite Extension?

Direct import of entire bibliographies from external citation managers (like Zotero or Mendeley) into the Microsoft Cite Extension's internal source manager is generally not supported. You would typically need to manually re-enter or copy-paste individual source details.
