Hello Yves

Could you make the chicago style to a numbered style and i would like to
make it into [] instead of ()

Thanks

Dear Nandha,

In the Chicago reference style, the elements in the bibliography are
ordered in a certain way (alphabetically by main contributor). So if
you want the in-text citations to be numbered, you would have to
communicate the place of an entry from the bibliography to the
citation. To my knowledge this is not possible in Word 2007. I posted
some notes as to why at http://www.codeplex.com/bibliography...ThreadId=28347
(5th post).

If you want to use numbers in-text, your only option is to 'sort' your
bibliography at the end of your text in the order the citation
elements appear in the text. Is that ok with you? If not, I'm afraid I
can't help you. If it is, let me know and I'll post the changes. Also
tell me if, in your bibliography at the bottom, the text should be
aligned differently from the number (hanging) or not. I mean (hoping
this gets formatted correctly):
[1] xyz
abc (with abc being under xyz)

or

[1] xyz
abc (with abc being under the number)

BR,

Yves
