citation in brackets instead of parenthesis
1. How can I change the parenthesis for brackets when inserting a citation?
2. When I have more than one author in a reference, I would like to get the first author's last name along with et al. (to indicate there is more than 1 author), instead of getting all the names of the authors? |

To make changes to the style, you will have to dig into the xslt code of a style. According to most people a rather complex thing. All styles can be located in the Word 2007 folder\Bibliography\Style folder. A small tutorial, which should help you with your first question if you have at least some basic xslt knowledge, can be found at http://www.codeplex.com/bibliography...aspx?title=FAQ Your second question is a bit harder to solve but still manageable if you can tell me the style you are using.

citation in brackets instead of parenthesis
p0,
I've read some of questions and answers and it looks like changing the citation format is a common problem. I will try to see what I can do with the code. I'm using APA as a style. Another question: Sometimes I use the author(s) as subject when starting a sentence, in this case I would like just the year in brackets. Is this possible? Thanks Thanks "p0" wrote: On 19 jan, 21:35, Jimmy wrote: 1. How can I change the parenthesis for brackets when inserting a citation? 2.

I uploaded something along the lines what you want to
http://www.codeplex.com/bibliography...eleaseId=22062 .. Regarding your last question, right click on the citation and pick "Edit Citation" from the menu. In the dialog, you can suppress the author in the citation among things. You might want to suppress the title as well if you do the author.

citation in brackets instead of parenthesis
Yves,
Thanks for your help. I've downloaded the file in the folder where the styles are. However, I cannot see from Word 2007. Should I substitute the APA existing code for your code? Should I keep the name APA? Can I add a new style like APA2 with your code so I don't loose the original APA style? How should I go about? Interestingly, By the time I got your response, I had already pursuaded my advisor for letting me use parenthesis instead of square brackets. But I still need et al. By the way, et al. is always in italics. Could you please upload two files with these changes. I mean, the first one: () and et.al. in (italic) and Second [] and et.al.(in italic). Thanks a lot!!!!!

Should I substitute the APA existing code for your code? Should I keep the name APA? Can I add a new style like APA2 with your code so I don't loose the original APA style? How should I go about? The style is listed in Word 2007 as "APA - Square Brackets - One Author". Note that after copying the style into the directory where the other styles are, you need to restart Word to see the style listed in Word. Word only loads the stylenames once during start up. This will not influence the original APA style. If you wish to create a derived style from for example APA, I suggest you first create a copy, and then change the way the style of the copy is described in Word 2007 as described in http://www.codeplex.com/bibliography...x?title=FAQ#Q8 Interestingly, By the time I got your response, I had already pursuaded my advisor for letting me use parenthesis instead of square brackets. But I still need et al. By the way, et al. is always in italics. Could you please upload two files with these changes. I mean, the first one: () and et.al. in (italic) and Second [] and et.al.(in italic). To change the open bracket, look for a piece in the code looking like this: !--xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_OpenBracket"/-- xsl:text[/xsl:text Just change the [ into ( if you want round brackets. Similar for close brackets look for: !--xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_CloseBracket"/-- xsl:text]/xsl:text and change accordingly. Using italics inside an in-text citation is currently not possible to the best of my knowledge. This is because the citation inherits the paragraph (or character) style of the paragraph it belongs to. (As a personal remark: using meaningless italics throughout a paragraph actually has a negative influence on its readability. People quickly scanning through a text tend to focus on differently formatted parts. I doubt anyone would want to focus on 'et al'.) Thanks a lot!!!!!
