share list of sources in Word

Yes.

Save your list as an AutoText entry or Quick Part.

This should be saved in a template that can be loaded as an Add-In by putting it in the Word Startup folder.

It will then be available in all your documents and in documents for users with whom you have shared the global template.

Yep - when you add a source to a document, Word automatically saves it to a global Master List on your computer. To reuse sources in another document, open the References tab, select Manage Sources, and choose the desired source from the Master List on the left. You can then click Copy to add it to the Current List of the new document.

Word stores the Master List in an XML file named sources.xml, typically located at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Bibliography\sources.xml. You can share this file with another user, such as by email or using a flash drive. The other user can then open Word, go to References > Manage Sources > Browse, and select the sources.xml file to load the sources into Word.
