How do I identify and view a report of citations in my document?
While drafting a document, you can generate a list of citations used in your document. When you do this, citations will be changed to hyperlinks so you can click them and view the related cases in the Research Pane. Additionally, Shepard's Signal™ indicators will be added to the citations to help you know the citation's status.
To mark citations in your document:
-
While viewing the document, in the Shepard's® Tools section of the ribbon, click the Get Cited Docs button. The text is scanned and any citations you have included in the text are changed to hyperlinks. Where possible, Shepard's Signal™ indicators are displayed. Additionally, the Research Pane is opened on the right side of the document, and the case list is displayed in the Validation tab.
