To create a citation index in WPS Office, initially identifying the citations you wish to add in your table. First marking the text in your document that constitutes a legal source, like a legislative provision, a administrative guideline, or a judicial decision. Then, open the References tab on the toolbar at the document header. Tap the Tag Reference button. A dialog box will open, where you can assign the group of the authority, like Precedent, Legislation, or Regulation. Select the relevant category, and if needed, enter a short citation that will appear in the table. Select Tag to record this entry. Repeat this action for every authority you wish to list in your legal reference list.

After all citations are identified, place your insertion point at the spot in your document where you want the table to be displayed, typically right after the directory. Navigate to the Authority section and click on the Generate Citation List button. A settings window will launch with various design parameters. You can pick from predefined styles or adjust the format by adjusting indentation, line height, and typeface. Verify the intended category is enabled if you wish to display only particular kinds of authorities. You may also determine whether to include page references and whether to sort entries alphabetically or by category. After making your selections, select Generate to produce the table.

WPS Office will dynamically assemble all the tagged references into a professionally styled index, enumerating each legal source along with its page number. In case you later add or erase citations, or edit the wording of existing ones, you can update the table by right-clicking on it and choosing Rebuild Index from the context menu. This maintains your table continues to be up-to-date as your document is modified. Always inspect the end table for accuracy and thoroughness, notably if you have made substantial edits to your document post-insertion. This technique helps legal practitioners and jurisprudence learners maintain clear authorities in legal memos.
