Notes

In a book, this is almost always the same as the copyright date. Do not use the year the work was conceived or approved. In a magazine, this is the cover month and year (use standard abbreviations; for example, “Jan. 2008”). For letters, it is the date of the letter (for example, “January 28, 2008”).

Marking in Microsoft Word
