I am trying to create my references like this. How do I do it? I have copy/paste references on my MS word 2016. I didn't use EndNote for creating my references.
I also don't need hyperlink references. When I click reference should come all together like the below.jpg image and it appears darker.
Thanks
Hi ampicillin, welcome to the Forum.
Could you explain in more detail exactly what you are trying to achieve. You mention the screen shot you provided is from a .jpg image. For best results & to be able to edit, the copy should be from text.
Hi, Thanks for replying. I have attached the sample below. My references are not attached together when I click on it. I want my all references to be attached when I once click on it. Only, My reference number is attached as you can see when I click on my reference title it appears as altogether and references appears as normal text only.
I think this is call field shading (grey shading in the background if I am right?) I want my all references to appear like the above page.
Edit 1: Okay, I was able to do colour shading of my background to grey colour but it stays on the references forever. What I meant to say is, shading it doesn't become white when I click on the other part. I want my reference shading to be white background like rest of the document and then when to click on the references turn it into the grey colour background again.
Just like, when I click on my reference title [1], [2] etc it turns into grey shading and when clicking other parts reference title turns into the normal white background. How do I do it for references as well?

Are you trying to create a bibliography of references that you have used in an article or a document that you have created?. I really can't help you with the shading.
Searching the internet for shading text in Word might help.
Yes, I am trying to create a bibliography of my references but I don't really need it to be precise for an example when you read the document:
When you click on [1]. reference it doesn't matter that it should bring me to the reference [1] or it should highlight the reference while reading the document. This is not necessary for my document.
I just need my all references at the end together, to be highlighted when you click anywhere and it should appear as grey shade and when you click another page (besides references pages) it should become normal white text so when I print out the document it should come as normal without grey shade.
I tried Google it up but couldn't find anything related to it. I now know how to shade the background but it doesn't go away when I click rest of the pages which means when I print the document it will come as a grey shade.
Maybe one of these will help.
