For future use: Directions for Making a Works Cited page

To save your sources in BiblioCite, select the File menu and then the Save or Save A Copy options. Your file will be saved to your private folder; it will have a bib extension.

Once you’re ready to sort and format your sources, go to BiblioCite, open your file, and click through your citation list to select the entries you wish to include in your Works Cited. Then choose BiblioCite, Make Works Cited (for MLA format) or Make References (for APA format).

When you are prompted to save the file, name it and type in the rtf extension (e.g. myfile.rtf). You can then open the file in Write and insert it at the end of your research paper, then save the entire document as a pgf file before you print it.

Note: if you save the file as a txt file you will lose all formatting and have to go back and add the formatting again.
