Linking RefWorks with Word using Write-N-Cite
Posted by ebrothen included in Citing & Organizing
By now I hope you have created a RefWorks account and have begun using it to organize your research citations.
One advanced tool offered by RefWorks is called Write-N-Cite. Write-N-Cite is a plug-in for Word on both PC and Mac platforms. You can download Write-N-Cite from within your RefWorks account.
The trick currently to using Write-N-Cite is that WNC via Word will not recognize that you wish to login to your Capella RefWorks account. You have two options:
1. Use the Group Code. After clicking your Write-N-Cite toolbar button in Word, you will see a RefWorks login screen. First type the Group Code for Capella (found on RefWorks Information Page) and click “Go to Login.” Then use your normal Capella RefWorks log-in name and password.
2. Proxy Configuration: You can configure Write-N-Cite to know you are a Capella person. Find the RefWorks folder on your Programs list and click on WNC Proxy Configuration Utility. Enter this code:
Which is best? With the Group Code option you have one less step. With the Proxy Configuration option you have one less “code” to remember.

You have to create a RefWorks account and fill it with references before you can use the Write-N-Cite function. If you already did all your research for your paper, but you didn’t export your articles into RefWorks during the research process, you are probably better off at this point to create your reference list manually.
If you created a RefWorks account, but you don’t remember your user name and password, you have a couple options. First, if you haven’t yet put any references into RefWorks, then you might be better off creating a new account. Your other option if you have an account that you have already put a lot of references into is to contact RefWorks at support@refworks.com for assistance. Here’s a link to the RefWorks information page in the library where you can link to guides and tutorials that will teach you how to use RefWorks. You can also register for the RefWorks webinar that’s coming up tomorrow.

Hello, after I typed in the group code, I was asked to fill in the “log-in name” and “password”. I used my Capella Log-in name and password but they did not work. What are my log-in name and password? Should I apply somewhere? Thanks.
