Add all references in a folder into word

[area51]

I have a folder of references that I created for a grant application. I want to add all of them into word in alphabetical order. I don’t want to cite anything. I just want all the references from that folder made into a word document that lists them in alphabetical order. It’s a simple request. I don’t want to have to cite the references individually. At least not yet. I’ll do that later. For now I just need a “References” document.

Welcome to our forum, @area51. In the Paperpile web app, you can copy citations to the clipboard to generate a formatted reference list from any folder or label, without inserting citations one-by-one in your Word document.

1. Open the Paperpile web app and click the folder in the sidebar to view its contents.
2. Click the checkbox in the toolbar to select all references in the list, or press Cmd+A (macOS) or Ctrl+A (Windows/Linux).
3. Click the cite button in the toolbar to open the cite menu.
4. Choose a citation style that automatically orders the reference list alphabetically by author (for example, APA). Click Change citation style to choose from over 8,000 citation styles.
5. Click the cite button in the toolbar to copy the reference list to the clipboard and paste it into your Word document.
   
   

That will give you a properly formatted, alphabetized reference list you can use for your grant application now, without having to cite anything in the text.
