Re: Biblography Styles

Wish I had known that before I wasted my money on purchasing office. The
bibliographic features are nice, but it's obvious that whoever designed them
has not recently been a student. There is no way to cite online achedemic
periodicals such as those from Jstor. The Web site option has no fields for
journal name, issue, and edition, and the journal option has no field for the
host url.

Hi Alireza,

It's a excellent suggestion, but one that isn't, unfortunately, likely to happen I fear, unless one of the 'new batch' of graduates
or intern hires at Microsoft might create them. The folks that helped create that feature for Word 2007 have left the Word team
and moved to http://officelabs.com and while the MS folks are probably working on improving the next version there doesn't seem to
be too much left over for what used to be called 'sustaining engineering' work (i.e. working on the released product to keep it
fresh, alive and active).

The feature is basically written in XML, so it's 'extensible' and there have been a couple of efforts at making translators to move
the formats between BibUtils and other reference software and I suspect there was an expectation that folks at various schools where
there are folks who might be able to 'whip out quick XML' would be publishing additional .XSL files for different formats that could
be shared and simply dropped into the Bibiliography folder for use by Word 2007 users, but as with other similar
efforts/expectations, this hasn't happened and Microsoft really hasn't been a lot of help on doing this beyond one or two 'how to
get started' articles.

Microsoft Research has a Word 2007 add-in to work with NLM/NLH citations within Word but even there the add-in does some really poor
things, such as rename the 'Add-Ins' tab in Word for its own use, even though it leaves the content from other addins there.

Hi everyone.
I suggest that it would be very useful if Microsoft embed mor styles in
biblography section. It is better that contain all style that Endnote X
software has, become embeded in word and then importation of references items
from Google scholar become available. >>
