[grammatim[_2_]]

In order to approximate Chicago style in Word2007, I find that I need
to use "Chicago" for the in-text citations (which gets me "(name date,
page)" -- and then where necessary I can manually edit it to "name
(date, page)" -- but "Chicago" style for bibliographies is seriously
broken, so I need to use "APA" in order to get the date directly after
the author, and to get the volume editors and volume number of an
edited book in approximately correct positions. I can then convert the
bibliography to static text in order to sort the entries (they appear
within each author alphabetically by title instead of in date order).

Thus, after the document is finished, I need to set References to
"Chicago" and convert the citations to static text (to be able to keep
the format and to move the parentheses where necessary). ("APA" gives
"(name, date, p. page)".) But this can't be automated with Find/
Replace; there is no way to put "Convert to Static Text" into the
Replace box. So this is what I hope a macro can be made to do. It
seems like it ought to be a very simple Find and Act sequence.

(Then, after there are no more linked Citations, I change the
Reference style to "APA" and change the bibliography to Static Text in
order to do the sort, to insert the 3-em dashes for repeated author
name, to restore authors' first names, to deitalicize the journal
volume number (why does "APA" put spaces before the commas?), and
within a Book Section reference to move the volume editors after the
edited volume title.)

Important discovery: If the same author's name is typed in one
reference directly into the "Author" box on the New Sources panel, and
in another using the "Edit" button next to that box, Word does not
recognize them as the same person. Authors shouild thus always be
entered using the "Edit" button (since for multiple authors you need
to use it anyway).

I also once discovered that one of the listed styles will include the
"Comments" in the bibliography entry -- that's where I put Book Series
information, which is very important but not provided for at all by
Word -- but otherwise it was not compatible with Chicago style.
