(See Exercise 6.2 if you need to review the step to open the Preview box and set the style.)

To copy references from the Preview box to the word processing document:

1. Click on your blank word processing document, and type "This is a sample document with a footnote," and then insert a blank footnote at the end of the sentence you've just typed.
2. On the Citation Preview box, click Insert. The formatted footnote will be copied from Citation's Preview box to the footnote in your word processing document:
