Editing Your Table of Authorities

Microsoft Word creates a Table of Authorities dynamically. If you add, delete, move, or edit a citation or other text in a document, you will need to update your Table of Authorities. It cannot be edited directly, but the source that informs it can be modified. To do so, follow the instructions below.

  1. Right-click on your Table of Contents.
  2. A submenu will appear.
  3. Choose the option Update Field.
  4. Your Table of Authorities will be updated immediately.
