Use:
- In MS Word, select References - Manage Sources (Windows) or Document Elements - References - Manage (Mac). A window will pop up (Mac users: click on the gear icon at the bottom-right corner of the window and select Citation Source Manager; a new window will appear). Choose the authors and works that you wish to cite from the list in the left-hand-side box, and press Copy ->.
NB: abbreviations for authors are only contained in items where no work is mentioned (e.g. "Abercius Hieropolitanus" contains "Aberc."); where a work is mentioned, the corresponding abbreviation is that of the work alone (e.g. "Abercius Hieropolitanus; Epitaphium Abercii" contains only "Epitaph."). This is because scholars may want to insert the abbreviation of a work alone if the author is obvious from the context.
- Select References - Style and choose DGE.
- In order to insert an abbreviation, select References - Insert Citation and choose one from the list that will appear.
- The References - Bibliography tool will create a list of all abbreviations (including authors) inserted in the document.
