> I don't if you guys realized this, but there's a cool feature " Microsoft Word where you can either copy-paste or manually enter the name of a web page,  as well as cite and source it.  If you're using the ribbons, (either real or virtual,) you can scroll down to citations and bibliographies (which, if you press the left or right arrow keys, is located in the references tab), then click on manage sources, then tab down to create new source.  There, you'll find all the text fields and selection lists that you'll need to fill in to create your citation.  For example, it will ask you if you want it to be the name of a website, book, or any other kind of document from a variety of selections.  It will also ask you if you want to do it in APA or MLA, the date, author, publisher, name of URL, (or title if it's a book or other document), etc.
> I learned about this feature last year from my technology instructor at the blindness training center that I went for my gap year between high school and college.  My instructor felt that it was really important for me to learn about this feature in Word as it would strongly help and benefit me in college.

> For me, I think it kind of depends on what it is I'm siding.  If you are trying to cite a peer-reviewed article, you may be able to search for it on Google scholar.  If you scroll down after the link to the article, they will be a site button you click on that and then click on the link for the citation style you want to, and give you the citation.  If you were trying to cite a book or something similar to that, Purdue online writing Lab might be the best option.
