Default footnote/bibliography

Sigh. Reread my original reply carefully.

1)I stated that Word 2008 for Mac supports footnote citations (as used by
humanities) out of the box.

For example, the book "Angels & Demons" by Dan Brown is cited in a footnote
by Word 2008 as follows (title in italics):
Dan Brown, Angels & Demons (New York, NY: Bantam Press, 2005)

2)I stated that Word 2007 for Windows does not support footnote citations
out of the box but that if the OP has minimal XSLT knowledge, he could
either try to create the style himself (given the links I posted), or give
the style I made (which is still in beta) a shot.

That style cites the same book also as (again with title in italics):
Dan Brown, Angels & Demons (New York, NY: Bantam Press, 2005)

No. He wants to put what Word thinks of as a Bibliography entry into a
footnote, not what Word thinks of as a Citation.

How many times, Yves, have I suggested that you learn what the Chicago
Manual of Style has to say about references in scholarly articles, so
you can seee how abysmally badly Word handles Chicago style
documentation -- and by extension, the others as well?

the
answer is yes but it is not always all that straightforward or easy.

In Word 2008 for Mac, footnote citations are supported out of the box.
Just
add a normal footnote and then insert the citation where you would insert
the footnote text.

In Word 2007 for Windows, footnote citations are not supported out of the
box. But as the feature is extendable, you could add your own style if you
have some basic XSLT knowledge. The following articles might help
you:http://blogs.msdn.com/microsoft_offi...9/04/29/biblio...

Also, a beta version of an attempt at the CMS footnote style I wrote can

Is there a way to use a bibliography entry as a footnote?-
