Default Harvard Referencing

Not sure what the question is ... with the Word2007 bibliography tool,
the only way to get any flexibility is by plunging into XML
programming, which Yves = p0 will assure you is perfectly simple.

If you simply ignore the bibliography tool, which isn't ready for
serious use by scholars, you do indeed create a reference in a
document by typing it. (And then you can copy/paste or drag'n'drop it
ad infinitum, which might even be easier than using a bibliography
tool, if you pretty much only ever use a single style.)

can you create a reference from just typing the reference in a particular way?

American editors/publishers do not know a style called "Harvard
style." What reference manual do you consult for the details?

Dear Garfield,
thx for clarifying that the most common reference system (Harvard) *is NOT
provided for, do you know by any chance whether any university or any good
soul has written some addin that one could download?


THANK YOU

my humble opinion, they don't save you *that* much time when
you're dealing with only 50-100 references, even if you are
proficient with the software. *If I were you, I would just create
a blank page at the end of your paper and start listing cited
references alphabetically there. *By the time you're done, the
references list might be 6 or 7 pages long, but that's not so
hard to navigate through to add/edit/delete references.

We have just been shown at college how to use it and i will probably have no
more than between 50-100, from a range of sources such as books, journals and
the internet. just wondered if there was an easy way to keep track as i was
going along rather than trying to add them all when i finished, which could
be several weeks later.

Depends on whether you know what Harvard referencing is, and
whether you have 10 references or 1,000 references.

What is the easiest way to use Harvard Referencing in Word.


You could try the Harvard style I wrote a couple of weeks ago. I had
some issues finding consistent citing for the Harvard style so it
might not be exactly what you want but with a little xml knowledge you
might be able to tweak it to your personal preferences. The most
complete one is based on the Leeds university guidelines (hence the
name Harvard Leeds). You can find it at
