The information in this article applies to:
You can create a secondary (short) citation of an item once a primary (long) citation is created by using the table of authorities feature in Word 6.0 and higher. The short citation is used for all cases, statutes, or other sources you already referred to in a long citation.
The short citation should not appear in the table of authorities. It is simply an additional reference to the same item that was previously cited with a long citation.
Only long citations appear in a table of authorities. Only the page numbers for the short citations will appear, if the short citation is on a different page than the long citation. Here is an example of a long and short citation:
Long --> Brown v. Board of Education, 273 US 177, 93 F2d 14 (1953)
Short--> Brown v. Board of Education (1953)
TABLE OF AUTHORITIES
BROWN V. BOARD OF EDUCATION, 273 US 177, 93 F2D 14
(1953)...................1, 2
