convert bibliography to static text
If you use Alt+F9 in your document after using 'convert to static text' do you see the same text or do you see {BIBLIOGRAPHY}. If
you see the same text when using the Alt+F9 toggle then it has been converted. It will still be in a Word content control (blue frame) and can be copied outside of the content control. If you then use 'Update Citations and Bibliography' on the top of the control the static text in the content control will be replaced with the Bibliography field content and the 'Update Citations and Bibliography at the top of the control (which should no longer be visible, but is, no longer functions. To update the Bibliography control again to update to match your Current List from Manage Sources (in case you made changes), reapply a Bibliography gallery choice. The formatting (font/positioning) of the text is dependent on the Word style and formatting you apply to the text from the Home tab. By default, the two built in gallery entries use Heading 1 paragraph style for the title line and the Bibliography paragraph style for the content entries. ================= "mad as hell" mad as wrote in message ...

convert bibliography to static text
What, It hit alt F9 but the screen shakes and goes back one page butother
than that it appears to do nothing. What else can I do? I want it to be static because I do not want it to change any of the content. However I am ging to make manual changes in someof the citations because they are not adding a title to differentiate between multiple works by same author in same year.

convert bibliography to static text
While the cursor was inside the blue actetate layer frame of the Bibliography content control, did you use the drop down at the top left of that control and choose the Convert to Static Text choice? If so, then while you're in the Bibliography content control, if you next use Alt+F9 nothing should happen and it shouldn't jump pages. If it is jumping a page after converstion then you may have a 3rd party add-in conflicting. When the content is static text it's just that, editable document text. Another way of doing it, but that can make other changes in the document, is to save the file as a Word97-2003 document, then use Office Button=Convert to reactivate the Word 2007 features. Once you save as Word97-2003 format the Bibliography fields are permanently static text. The Bibliography field is basically a merge control. It takes the current list entries from Manage sources and puts them into individual paragraphs within the content control it inserts in the document. The processing of what elements are included are defined by apply the .XSL (style sheet) for the particular Bibliography style you select. It appears that without modifying the transform definitions of a particular Bibliography Style (or creating your own) as described he http://blogs.msdn.com/microsoft_offi...ions-1011.aspx that the only Bib-Style that presently supresses repeating the author name for two Journal Articles (for example) is the MLA style, and then only based on the author name not based on publication year. It might be possible to build a set of {If } conditions into a gallery that would process the Bibliography field contents or to achieve the same result by creating a merge document and using the Sources.xml file as a data source (but that would probably require an XSL Transform or conversion of the XML to another data format that Word 2007's Mailings tab Mailmerge tools will recognize as a data source. =============== "mad as hell" wrote in message ...
