I have a database of everything i've read for a report (about 200 items!), is it possible to transform this into a bibliography without writing it out again? i'm so computer illiterate!

Good question.
A couple of ideas:
1. If you have MS Word, you can download a template for a term paper and use the template's Reference section as a guide to format your data in its present state. Then convert the
data to a Word file (assuming your data is in Excel database format).
2. Maybe simpler: highlight all of your data by click dragging over it with your mouse or just try pressing the Control key and the letter A and see if it all gets highlighted. Then press Control C (this copies what you've highlighted). Open a Word file and press Control V to paste everything and see how it looks. You may have to highlight it again and then direct Word to convert it to a table. (Click on Help and select Tables for more assistance in doing this).
Jeez! This must sound terribly convoluted to you. I hope it helps. For a more hands-on solution, Word is good about stepping you through when you use its Help wizard. Good luck!
