        Thank you for spending time and replying. Actually, I've used both
numbered list and endnotes. Neither satisfies me. With endnotes I have
no option to set custom number format, say:

[1] Reference 1
[2] Reference 2

        Numbered list is inconvenient in handling movements of item. I don't
refuse to press Ctrl-A, F9 as many times, as needed. But the most
disadvantage is that there no easy way to preserve consistency of the
list and references while rearranging the list. Imagine, you are working
on you thesis, made a list of hundred something references, and then
decided to move some part say item number 26 to number 20 as text
organization changed.

        My thought about bookmarks was because they are really locked on
pointees, which could be arranged in a list with any formatting. But
here I see a difficulty in naming bookmarks. Place title of the paper as
bookmark tag?

        Anyway, thank you very mach for paying attention.
