Editing Your Marked Citation

Microsoft Word creates a Table of Contents dynamically. After editing your document, you may need to update your Table of Contents. It cannot be edited directly, but the source that informs it can be modified. To do so, follow the instructions below.

  1. Display the non-printing characters in your document by clicking once on the Show/Hide icon, located in the Standard toolbar.

  2. Edit the text inside the quotation marks, which is italicized, bold and green in the example below.

    { TA \l "Baldwin v. Alberti, 58 Wn. 2d 243 (1961)" \s "Baldwin v. Alberti" \c 1 \b }

  3. Do NOT edit or delete any of the coding around your marked citation, including the quotation marks, or you will corrupt it.
