Quick Reference Check Trick

This is for a pretty limited audience, but I find it so useful I'm
putting it here so I don't forget it.

If you are writing an academic paper with citations, and you're worried
about getting the formatting of them wrong - especially if you use an
automatic reference manager like EndNote - this is a way to quickly step
through every reference in a Word document. It only works if your
references are in APA style or similar, that is, (Schlemiel & Schnook,
2007)

1. Go to Edit -> Find
2. Click the More button
3. Select Use wildcards
4. Type into the Find what box (exactly): [0123456789]\)

Now just keep clicking Find Next and it will take you on a tour of all the
references in your document.

If you are using EndNote, it's also a good idea to search for "#" and "{"
just to make sure there aren't any unprocessed tags you've left.
