    Hello Jessica A,

    I'm Shalom and I'd happily help you with your question. In this forum, we are Microsoft consumers just like yourself.

    In Microsoft Word's "References" tab, when creating a bibliography or managing sources using the "Manage Sources" feature, an encyclopedia is typically considered a "Reference Book" rather than just a "Book."

    Here's how you can categorize it:

    1. Click on the "References" tab in Microsoft Word.
    2. In the "Citations & Bibliography" group, click on "Manage Sources."
    3. In the "Source Manager" dialog box, you can add a new source by clicking on "New."
    4. In the "Create Source" dialog box, you can specify the type of source. For an encyclopedia, select "Reference Book" from the "Type of Source" dropdown menu.
    5. Fill in the necessary details for the encyclopedia entry, including the author (if available), title of the article, title of the encyclopedia, publication year, and so on.
    6. Click "OK" to save the source.

    By categorizing an encyclopedia entry as a "Reference Book," you ensure that your bibliography or citations are formatted correctly according to the chosen citation style (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.). Best Regards, Shalom
