Microsoft Word: Backup and restore citations

Word saves the master citation list in a file named Sources.xml. It is located:

• On Windows, it is located at %AppData%\Microsoft\Bibliography\sources.xml
• On Mac OS X, it is located at $HOME/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/Sources.xml

You can make a copy of the Sources.xml file as a backup of the master citation list.
