Is it possible to include character formatting in the entries in a
stored bibliography -- for instance, a Latin word in an article title should always be italicized -- but selecting the word in the box in the Manage Sources panels and Ctrl-I doesn't do it. |

It depends on the options the creator of the style provided.
If you are talking about one of the styles that comes with Word 2007, the answer is no. Leaving the fancy transformation stuff aside, you can consider a citation/bibliography stylesheet as a HTML template (a webpage) into which the content of the different fields of a source is pasted. The thing is, there are two ways to do the pasting: 1)consider the field content as regular text, i.e. without any formatting information, and just paste it directly; 2)consider the field content as some kind of formatted text and ensure that formatting information is maintained during the 'pasting' process. The styles that come with Word 2007 decided to follow the first approach. Hence, using them it is not possible to add formatting information. The stylesheets based on BibWord, so basically the ones you can download from the link in my signature, follow the second approach. They accept common HTML formatting information. The idea is that it is very uncommon that HTML tags would appear in a field without being formatting information. So if you wanted the word "Title" in "A Title to Remember" to be in italics, you would just insert it as "A iTitle/i to Remember". Both approaches have their pros and cons.

Is there anywhere one can see the output of your various styles,
without downloading and installing the machinery? I'd especially like it if one of your styles follows the Chicago Manual (as Word's built- in "Chicago" doesn't). In particular, is it impossible to order entries under an author by date, rather than by title? All the built- in styles that put the date directly after the author still order them by title, which is completely wrong. (And most or all of them repeat the date at or near the end, which is wrong.) On Jan 6, 3:08*pm, "Yves Dhondt" wrote: It depends on the options the creator of the style provided.

Example output of a few of the BibWord styles can be seen on their specific
release pages. ABNT : http://bibword.codeplex.com/Release/...eleaseId=27212 Harvard - AGPS : http://bibword.codeplex.com/Release/...eleaseId=22931 Harvard - Anglia : http://bibword.codeplex.com/Release/...eleaseId=19783 Harvard - Exeter : http://bibword.codeplex.com/Release/...eleaseId=22890 Harvard - Leeds : http://bibword.codeplex.com/Release/...eleaseId=19776 I never created anything for the Chicago style. I've added an adjusted Word 2007 Chicago style to http://bibword.codeplex.com/Release/...eleaseId=38366 . There you can use italic formatting around latin words in a field. I only did some basic testing, but if it fails, just let me know and I'll look into it. The decision on how entries in a bibliography are sorted is made by the style. As long as you don't mix up alphabets (cyrillic vs latin vs kanji) you can sort whatever way you want. For example, the Harvard styles on the BibWord site (the links at the beginning of this post) all sort by author followed by year and then title. Microsoft opted to use a "b:SortingString" to store the value in on which sorting happens for most styles (APA, Chicago, Turabian, ISO 690). So if you want to know the details on how a specific style in Word 2007 handles sorting, you can open the file and just look for "b:SortingString". A quick peak for Chicago shows it is: 1. author / editor / compiler / translator (unless it is a legal case) 2. periodical title in case the source is an article in a periodical 3. title 4. the importance of the author (author editor compiler translator) Yves -- BibWord : Microsoft Word Citation and Bibliography styles http://bibword.codeplex.com "Peter T.

This all sounds immensely useful -- if the advertised Free WiFi in the
hotel for the Linguistic Society of America actually works (with my new (yay!) laptop), I can look into all this tonight. BTW do the ISO-whatever styles _really_ decree that for a journal artilce, the entry is listed under the article title and not the author, or is that just another Word mistake?

I have no idea if the ISO-styles are correct or not. They look funny to me
as well. There have been comments about them before. I made an alternative where the name always showed up first over a year ago (http://bibword.codeplex.com/Release/...leaseId=17634).
