How can I make a custom bibliography style?

Hi Adam,

This can be done by means of the \m switch (http://
office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA102157071033.aspx).

Place your mouse on a citation, right click and select "Edit
field...". You will be presented with a window in which you can add
the extra sources by means of there tags. Something like "CITATION
XYZ05 \l 1033" will be already filled in. All you have to do, is
change it into "CITATION XYZ05 \m ABC06 \m KLM07 \l 1033".

When I insert thebibliographylist, the space between the [1] and the text
is too small; i would like to know if this space can be modified. I've tried
to do so with XLS releases here but the list is always managed as a table, so
the TAB Key won't do the work, and neither SPACE.

The format i'm looking for is this
[1] * * xyz
* * * * *abc
The space between the [1] and xyz should be the same as a TAB Key.

Thank you all in advance.

Hi,

The easiest way, without having to dig into the XSLT, is to just
change the indentation of all the cells in a column to whatever you
want. For example, if you were to select the column with numbers
(first column), you then have to click the arrow at the bottom of the
paragraph ribbon on the home tab. In the window that pops up, you can
then set 'Right' under indentation to something like '0,2 cm'. That
will change the white space between the numbers and the text.

HTH,

Yves -- this is great help, thank you. The () -- [] requirement is common in
my experience in technical academic research. I'm really surprised that
square brackets was not the default or a switch allowed this transformation,
but I expect Word ran with whatever was the official standard. It is not de
facto common practice though. I really hope your help is made more prominent
in due course, e.g. in the on-line help for Word, because it took quite a
while to find it in here!

Hi Marc,

It comes down to replacing b:RefOrder with b:Tag in all but one place
in the stylesheet.

Hello, I have been reading this string of posts and I think that maybe
someone here might be able to help me. I need to alter the APA style to the
LSA style. They are pretty much the same except Word 2007 keeps truncating
some author's first names, and putting parentheses aroung the date.

I am pretty sure there is a limit on the string length for the author's name
that might be increased but I have no idea where to look for it. I have no
clue how to fix the parentheses issue.

Before toying around with the APA.xsl I suggest you make a copy of it
and call it LSA.xsl. Put the copy in the same directory as APA.xsl.
Open up your new created LSA.xsl and look for a piece of xml looking
like this:
xsl:when test="b:OfficeStyleKey"
xsl:textAPA/xsl:text
/xsl:when

Change it into:
xsl:when test="b:StyleName"
xsl:textLSA/xsl:text
/xsl:when

Save the entire thing. Now when you start up Word, there will be an
LSA entry in the style list to pick from. Starting from here, you
should only play around with LSA.xsl and NOT with APA.xsl.

The parentheses around the year are put there during the declaration
of the "enclosedYearDot" variable by the following code (located
around line 5039):

xsl:variable name="enclosedYearDot"
xsl:if test="string-length($year)0"
xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_GeneralOpen"/
xsl:value-of select="$year"/
xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_GeneralClose"/
xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_Dot"/
/xsl:if
/xsl:variable

By removing the calls to templ_prop_APA_GeneralOpen and
templ_prop_APA_GeneralClose you will remove the brackets. So you would
get:

xsl:variable name="enclosedYearDot"
xsl:if test="string-length($year)0"
!--xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_GeneralOpen"/--
xsl:value-of select="$year"/
!--xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_GeneralClose"/--
xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_Dot"/
/xsl:if
/xsl:variable

Note that right under the declaration of enclosedYearDot,
enclosedDateDot and enclosedDateEmptyDot are declared. They put
'entire' dates between brackets. So you also might want to change
those if you don't want brackets around any date.


The name of one of the main contributors to a work is formatted as
follows:

xsl:template name="formatMainAuthor"
xsl:call-template name="formatNameCore"
xsl:with-param name="FML"
xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_MainAuthors_FML"/
/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="FM"

/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="upperLast"no/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="withDot"yes/xsl:with-param

/xsl:call-template
/xsl:template

with the following definitions (which you can't change directly):
templ_prop_APA_MainAuthors_FML = %L, %f %m
templ_prop_APA_MainAuthors_FM = %f %m
templ_prop_APA_MainAuthors_ML = %L, %m
templ_prop_APA_MainAuthors_FL = %L, %f
where lower case characters stands for initials and upper case
characters for the full name part. So if you don't want any of the
main authors names abbreviated, you could change the routine into:

xsl:template name="formatMainAuthor"
xsl:call-template name="formatNameCore"
xsl:with-param name="FML"
xsl:value-of select="'%L, %F %M'"/
/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="FM"
xsl:value-of select="'%F %M'"/
/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="ML"
xsl:value-of select="'%L, %M'"/
/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="FL"
xsl:value-of select="'%L, %F'"/
/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="upperLast"no/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="withDot"yes/xsl:with-param

/xsl:call-template
/xsl:template

Once again, note that there is also a formatting routine for secondary
authors right beneath it (formatSecondaryName) which you might want to
change as well to your preferred format.

Yves

Thanks this did the trick; it is working great!!!! One other quesiton that
you might be able to help with. When there are two authors for some source
the second is always listed as LAST, FIRST but I want it the other way around.

For example:
Smith, John and Jane Doe. 2020. etc.

not

Smith, John and Doe, Jane. 2020. etc.

I tried to make some adjustments in the (formatSecondaryName) part of the
code but nothing changed. Any advice?

Yves

formatSecondaryName is for a possible second group of contributors to
a work (for example in book sections) not for the second (or further)
person of the main contributors.

I suggest adding a template "formatMainAuthorAfterFirst" to the
stylesheet. As the name suggests, it describes how to format the main
author after the first person. Since you want first name followed by
last name, the template would look something like this:

xsl:template name="formatMainAuthorAfterFirst"
xsl:call-template name="formatNameCore"
xsl:with-param name="FML"
xsl:value-of select="'%F %M %L'"/
/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="FM"
xsl:value-of select="'%F %M'"/
/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="ML"
xsl:value-of select="'%M %L'"/
/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="FL"
xsl:value-of select="'%F %L'"/
/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="upperLast"no/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="withDot"yes/xsl:with-param

/xsl:call-template
/xsl:template

Currently, a set of main authors is formatted using the following
code:

xsl:template name="formatPersonsAuthor"
xsl:if test="string-length(b:Corporate)=0"
xsl:for-each select="b:NameList/b:Person"
xsl:if test="position() = 1"
xsl:call-template name="formatMainAuthor"/
/xsl:if
xsl:if test="6 = position() and position() != 1"
xsl:call-template name="formatMainAuthor"/
/xsl:if
xsl:call-template name="formatPersonSeperatorMain"/
/xsl:for-each
/xsl:if

xsl:if test="string-length(b:Corporate)0"
xsl:value-of select="b:Corporate"/
/xsl:if
/xsl:template

Here you can see that Microsoft already thought of people who want
their second person displayed differently from their first. The second
'if' statement (xsl:if test="6 = position() and position() != 1")
indicates how the persons 2 to 6 should be handled. In the above code,
they should be handled just like the first person. So here you can
call your newly defined template instead of the old one. Hence you
would change the code from:

xsl:if test="6 = position() and position() != 1"
xsl:call-template name="formatMainAuthor"/
/xsl:if

into:

xsl:if test="6 = position() and position() != 1"
xsl:call-template name="formatMainAuthorAfterFirst"/
/xsl:if

xsl:value-of select="b:Corporate"/
/xsl:if
/xsl:template

Here you can see that Microsoft already thought of people who want
their second person displayed differently from their first. The second
'if' statement (xsl:if test="6 = position() and position() != 1")
indicates how the persons 2 to 6 should be handled. In the above code,
they should be handled just like the first person. So here you can
call your newly defined template instead of the old one. Hence you
would change the code from:

xsl:if test="6 = position() and position() != 1"
xsl:call-template name="formatMainAuthor"/
/xsl:if

into:

xsl:if test="6 = position() and position() != 1"
xsl:call-template name="formatMainAuthorAfterFirst"/
/xsl:if

Thanks this did the trick; it is working great!!!! One other quesiton that
you might be able to help with. When there are two authors for some source
the second is always listed as LAST, FIRST but I want it the other way around.

For example:
Smith, John and Jane Doe. 2020. etc.

not

Smith, John and Doe, Jane. 2020. etc.

I tried to make some adjustments in the (formatSecondaryName) part of the
code but nothing changed. Any advice?

Hello, I have been reading this string of posts and I think that maybe
someone here might be able to help me. I need to alter the APA style to the
LSA style. They are pretty much the same except Word 2007 keeps truncating
some author's first names, and putting parentheses aroung the date.

I am pretty sure there is a limit on the string length for the author's name
that might be increased but I have no idea where to look for it. I have no
clue how to fix the parentheses issue.

Before toying around with the APA.xsl I suggest you make a copy of it
and call it LSA.xsl. Put the copy in the same directory as APA.xsl.
Open up your new created LSA.xsl and look for a piece of xml looking
like this:
xsl:when test="b:OfficeStyleKey"
xsl:textAPA/xsl:text
/xsl:when

Change it into:
xsl:when test="b:StyleName"
xsl:textLSA/xsl:text
/xsl:when

Save the entire thing. Now when you start up Word, there will be an
LSA entry in the style list to pick from. Starting from here, you
should only play around with LSA.xsl and NOT with APA.xsl.

The parentheses around the year are put there during the declaration
of the "enclosedYearDot" variable by the following code (located
around line 5039):

xsl:variable name="enclosedYearDot"
xsl:if test="string-length($year)0"
xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_GeneralOpen"/
xsl:value-of select="$year"/
xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_GeneralClose"/
xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_Dot"/
/xsl:if
/xsl:variable

By removing the calls to templ_prop_APA_GeneralOpen and
templ_prop_APA_GeneralClose you will remove the brackets. So you would
get:

xsl:variable name="enclosedYearDot"
xsl:if test="string-length($year)0"
!--xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_GeneralOpen"/--
xsl:value-of select="$year"/
!--xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_GeneralClose"/--
xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_Dot"/
/xsl:if
/xsl:variable

Note that right under the declaration of enclosedYearDot,
enclosedDateDot and enclosedDateEmptyDot are declared. They put
'entire' dates between brackets. So you also might want to change
those if you don't want brackets around any date.

The name of one of the main contributors to a work is formatted as
follows:

xsl:template name="formatMainAuthor"
xsl:call-template name="formatNameCore"
xsl:with-param name="FML"
xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_MainAuthors_FML"/
/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="FM"
xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_MainAuthors_FM"/
/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="ML"
xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_MainAuthors_ML"/
/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="FL"
xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_MainAuthors_FL"/
/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="upperLast"no/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="withDot"yes/xsl:with-param

/xsl:call-template
/xsl:template

with the following definitions (which you can't change directly):
templ_prop_APA_MainAuthors_FML = %L, %f %m
templ_prop_APA_MainAuthors_FM = %f %m
templ_prop_APA_MainAuthors_ML = %L, %m
templ_prop_APA_MainAuthors_FL = %L, %f
where lower case characters stands for initials and upper case
characters for the full name part. So if you don't want any of the
main authors names abbreviated, you could change the routine into:

xsl:template name="formatMainAuthor"
xsl:call-template name="formatNameCore"
xsl:with-param name="FML"
xsl:value-of select="'%L, %F %M'"/
/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="FM"
xsl:value-of select="'%F %M'"/
/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="ML"
xsl:value-of select="'%L, %M'"/
/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="FL"
xsl:value-of select="'%L, %F'"/
/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="upperLast"no/xsl:with-param
xsl:with-param name="withDot"yes/xsl:with-param

/xsl:call-template
/xsl:template

Once again, note that there is also a formatting routine for secondary
authors right beneath it (formatSecondaryName) which you might want to
change as well to your preferred format.

Hi Yves,
Thanks for your awesome code! I was just wondering...when I hit the 'insert
citation' button, all my references in the main text are reference [1] even
though they are sorted and numbered correctly in the actual bibliography at
the end. Any help would be appreciated. THANKS!

A million thanks to you Yves.
It was released 2 days ago, i didn't relize it. It is actually perfect, i
was mistaken to understand your words at that time. I realized that what i
want is just like this, the number to apear in order and the bibliography
apear as its appearance in the document.

Once again thank you sooo much

PS : i tried to understand the XSL file, bleeeh its not easy isn't it, too
complex

Dear Nandha,

If you check the numbered ISO style (ISO 690 - Numerical Reference)
you will see that the entries in the bibliography at the bottom are
not sorted by name but rather by their position as in-text citation.
This is the only way you can use numbers as references in Word 2007.

http://www.codeplex.com/bibliography...eleaseId=14597
will do partially what you want. By removing the sorting rule (as
explained on the release notes) you will have your bibliography in
order. So if you then convert both your bibliography and your in-text
citations to static text, you will just have to do a find, replace
operation to change every [x] into an [y].

LaTeX also has WYSIWYG-editors, for example LEd (http://
www.latexeditor.org/). It is just that some projects stubbornly refuse
to build them in reasoning that you do not need them to verify the
layout.

BR,

Yves

Hi S,

By the sound of it, I'm guessing the in-text citation fields are not
updated. Once you finished your text, go to the bibliography style
selection dropdown box and select the style you want again. That way,
all CITATION and BIBLIOGRAPHY fields in your text will be updated.
