Default MLA Anthology Citation in Word 2007

"Book Section" seems simply to be Word's cover term for what may have
different labels in different style guides. Chicago would call it
"Chapter in a book."

The answer is certainly yes.

The question on how easy it is to do is something totally different. The
'correct' way would be to extend the XSL file to support entries of the type
'Anthology'. But that would be a lot of XML/XSL programming work, which
probably isn't what you are looking after.

Have you considered entering the data as a 'Book Section' source? The
following entry
* Type of Source: Book Section
* Author: TheAuthor
* Title: ThePartTitle
* Book Title: TheBookTitle
* Editor: TheEditor
* Year: 2010
* City: TheCity
* Publisher: ThePublisher
* Pages: 50-62

returns

* TheAuthor. "ThePartTitle." TheBookTitle. Ed. TheEditor. TheCity:
ThePublisher, 2010. 50-62.

which seems to be pretty close to what you want.

Is it possible to use Word 2007's built-in citation feature to cite a work
in
an anthology with the proper MLA formatting for a Works Cited list? This
should be formatted as follows: (1) author of the selected work, (2) title
of
the selected work, (3) title of the anthology, (4) name of the editor
preceded by "Ed.", (5) publication details, and (6) the pages in the
anthology where the selection appears.
Again, my question is if there's a way to get all that information into
the
Word 2007 citation formatting tool.-
