I want to insert a works cited page in a word document.  When create bibliography, it inserts all the papers in the database and not just the ones I cited.  How can I create a page with only the works that I cited in my document?

    I know this question is really old, but since I had the same issue but figured it out, I thought I would post it here. In your source manager you have a Master list and a Current List. The Current list is the list of references entered while working on this document. In the current list a little check mark appears to the left of a reference. This tells you if the reference has been cited within the document. When you are done (aka not adding any more citations) remove the unchecked references. They will remain on your master list, but won't appear on your bibliography.

    Similarly, if there is a reference you use in many different documents you can always pull that into your current list from your master list so you don't have to recreate that reference.

    I have the same problem. I put all the useful references in a document;and I cited some of them for the current paper. However, when I inset the "works cited", all of the references came out no matter whether I cited it or not in the current paper. So the questions is, how to insert the bibliography that has only the works I cited in the paper?

    Thank you in advance

    Whether uncited entries appear at the end of the list probably depends on the referencing format you're using. Regardless, merely deleting them from the bibliography is singularly ineffective. As soon as you do anything that causes Word to refresh fields in the document (e.g. printing the document or updating the bibliography after adding a new item), the deletions and any other edits you might have made to the bibliography will all be reverted.

    I found some solution ... references which are not cited in the text are at the end of the list of references. It is possible to manually delete them. This is not beautiful but works. I still believe that there is an error in MS Word.

    I have the same problem. I really would like to know the answer. There is no difference between "bibliography" and "works citated" in Microsoft Word. It looks like an error.
