When I work on my thesis in the Swedish version of Microsoft Word and use
the spell checking function, it treats text references like faults in
language. For example: "(Noyons 1999, s. 3)" (where s. is the Swedish
abbreviation for page)gets the message that the sentence lacks a verb, or
that a paranthese is missing at the end of the first paranthesis and at the
beginnin at the last. Word should be made to recognize this kind of
reference! Also, paranthesis should be able to have more than one sentence,
without Word seeing just once at a time.
