REFWORKS(WRITE-N-CITE):

Write-n-Cite allows one to write a paper in MS Word, and to insert citation placeholders directly from one’s references imported into RefWorks.

Then it will create in-text citations and a bibliography based on these citation placeholders, and add it to the paper in the reference style chosen.
