How can I make a custom bibliography style?
Word 2007 brings the possibility of making a bibliography, but it contains
fixed bibliography styles. How can I make one of my own? |

How can I make a custom bibliography style?
Sorry, the Citation Manager is limited and will not work for all
situations. It can only be customized by digging into the code and at present there seems to be no documentation on how to customize the code, so that's not very feasible. I believe you have to know something called XSLT, which may be part of XML, although I am not entirely sure.

How can I make a custom bibliography style?
I'm not certain - so please don't quote me - but I suspect that the
bibliography styles are built in to Word and not even customisable through XML. -- Enjoy, Tony Jollans Microsoft Word MVP "Daiya Mitchell" wrote in message ...

They ARE customizable. However, for reasons unknown to me, the wise people at
Microsoft decided to make custimization unimaginably difficult.

How can I make a custom bibliography style?
Hello Chemie,
Changing the braces is often easily done, it's just a matter of changing a few lines of xslt. So if you can tell me the style name, I can probably tell you what to change.

Hello Yves
Could you make the chicago style to a numbered style and i would like to make it into [] instead of () Thanks "p0" wrote: Hello Chemie, Changing the braces is often easily done, it's just a matter of changing a few lines of xslt.

So if you want the in-text citations to be numbered, you would have to communicate the place of an entry from the bibliography to the citation. To my knowledge this is not possible in Word 2007. I posted some notes as to why at http://www.codeplex.com/bibliography...ThreadId=28347 (5th post). If you want to use numbers in-text, your only option is to 'sort' your bibliography at the end of your text in the order the citation elements appear in the text. Is that ok with you? If not, I'm afraid I can't help you. If it is, let me know and I'll post the changes. Also tell me if, in your bibliography at the bottom, the text should be aligned differently from the number (hanging) or not. I mean (hoping this gets formatted correctly): [1] xyz abc (with abc being under xyz) or [1] xyz abc (with abc being under the number) BR, Yves |

How can I make a custom bibliography style?
Dear Yves, i think sorting is better than nothing, and my option would go to
the first one [1] xyz abc (with abc being under xyz) so this means that i cannot put numbers in the citation ( i have to do it manually )?, because in the chicago style, it will put (names, years) instead of (index number) basically for citation i would like to use the numbered ISO, but for the bibliography i would like to use the chicago style with number, but any of that improvement is fine by me. Because i already got the answer, no matter what we will have to edit it manually in the end. Thank you Yves PS : I gave up writing my thesis using LATEX because of time limit (don't have much time to make a template), so i will use WYSIWYG like word instead, but i am beginning to like word cause you can work with script using visual studio, also.

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 |
