Hi,

I've had a nightmarish experience once with Latex for one paper, and as once
a loyal fan for MS visual studio, I decided to take the plunge to Microsoft's
Office 2007 trial for my thesis. Transfered paintstakingly my references from
EndNote to Word. (Couldn't find any tool which would let me do that). On the
contrary, there are quite a few to convert bibtex -- Endnote.

Now, my grouse has been there is just no Latex style supported by Word (I am
sorry I don't know what standard it is) . Infact I am pretty sure there isn't
anything like Latex style, but it seems to be the most common format for
citation
e.g. in text...

......we enhance the crypto API as defined in [3] ....

Bibliography

[3] W. Chap and E. Smart. [Title Text] i [Journal/conf name] /i ...


With some help I managed to tweak the ISO690Numerical.XSL to somehow get
the square brackets [ ] working, but it's a daunting task. And being a C/C++
dev, XML gives me cold feet (dunno why)

I have just 1 week more to go, so no point in asking if/when word will come
out with a style for this. But any starter tips or links to how others did
it... would be simply wonderful! Or for others who I am pretty sure will soon
flock here looking for solutions, any info on it posted here would be great!

Maybe some PM at MSFT could think about adding a UI feature for
modifying/creating citation styles?

If it works, I promise to buy Office '07 once trial gets over (chill, I'll
buy it anyways).

Best Regards,
Aish
