Both Word and Google Docs have built in citation programs.
In Word, choose REFERENCES on the ribbon. There are a variety of citation styles from which to choose. Create the sources and Word will add in-text citations and then create the bibliography/works cited page. Also from the REFERENCES ribbon, you can insert formatting for a table of contents, with the dots already there.
Also, take a look at the Quick Parts function on the INSERT ribbon. There are a number of options for creating pieces that are used frequently (such as an address, or a mathematical operation) that can be saved and added quickly.

In Google Docs, go to Tools > Citations. A sidebar opens and you can plug in the appropriate information. You can also add an extension in Docs. From the ribbon along the top, click Extensions > add-ons > Bibcitation
