Is there an add-in to add AMA reference style to Word 2007?
I usually use APA style references, but a journal I am submitting to requires
AMA style. Rather than manually change each reference, I was hoping that there was an more efficient way. |

It looks to me that the chosen citation style is a (per document) global setting. So, if you switch from APA to AMA, all inserted citations are updated simultaneously. 2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MSFT | \ / | MVP | Scientific Reports X Against HTML | for | with Word? / \ in e-mail & news | Word | http://www.masteringword.eu/ |

Thanx, but that's the problem, there is no AMA setting.

Hi Joe

I would enquire with AMA itself if they have some Word 2007 Add-In already or in the making. It's possible in theory to create one yourself, but even the sheer length of XML coding needed seems pretty prohibitive ... :-( Others are definitely more knowledgeable than me, but I had no luck with normal VBA to get there, either: anything concerning citations is either not recorded by the macro recorder, or not exposed in the Word object model at all. Find/Replace might help, if the entries are all alike. For a one-journal job, you're probably quicker doing it manually though. :-[ 2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MSFT | \ / | MVP | Scientific Reports X Against HTML | for | with Word? / \ in e-mail & news | Word | http://www.masteringword.eu/ |
