A table of authorities lists the references in a legal document, along with the numbers of the pages the references appear on. To create a table of authorities, you mark citations and Microsoft Word inserts a special TA (Table of Authorities Entry) field in your document.

You can then search the document for the next long or short citation to mark, or you can automatically mark each subsequent occurrence of the citation. If you don’t want to use the existing categories of citations, such as cases or statutes, you can change or add categories of citations.
