Harvard referencing style - how add it to Microsoft Word

For some unknown reason Microsoft have not included the Harvard referencing style into their Office packages. If you’re like me, and sometimes need to include references in your document for one reason or another such as university, then the below should help you.

Go here and download the file styles.zip

Once downloaded, unzip styles.zip.

To Install on Mac OS X, copy the files to this directory
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word.app/Contents/Resources/Style/

To Install on Windows, copy the files to this directory
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Bibliography\Style

Then restart Microsoft Word, and you should have the Harvard referencing style appear as an option.

If you don’t know how to create a bibliography in Word, you’ll find this link useful.
