Hi,
I am currently writing a thesis and am having trouble with the references. I
have several documents from the same source and same year thereby causing
Word 2007 to insert the reference as follows:
(UNSC, Resolution 1386 (2001) of 20 December, 2001, 2001)

My question is: Is there a way to make the reference state: (UNSC (a),
2001), or (UNSC (b), 2001), etc or something along these lines? So that the
reference doesn't eat up all the word limit?

Secondly, is there a way to export bookmarks from Mozilla into Word 2007
references?

Thanks very much for you time in advance!

Not directly. Each in-text citation is considered a separate entity and has
(almost) no knowledge of the other in-text citations. Hence, the (a), (b)
thing is not possible.

I developed a free template for the creation of new citation styles. Styles
created based on that template can, using an external extension tool, create
things like year suffices. Those suffices can be placed at a different
location than after the year, so you could place them like you require. So
using those tools, it is possible.

All information is located at http://bibword.codeplex.com
- the template: http://bibword.codeplex.com/Wiki/Vie...?title=BibWord
- the extension tool:

- examples of styles implementing the extension: all Harvard variants on
the site

Secondly, is there a way to export bookmarks from Mozilla into Word 2007
references?


I'm not sure how useful that would be. As far as I know, bookmarks store the
following info: "name", "location", "keywords", and "description". Knowing
the xml format, the mapping would probably be:

"name" = "Title"
"location" = "URL"
"keywords" = nothing
"description" = "Comments".

But there are very few reference styles for which those 3 items are enough
information. Normally you need things like authors, access date, type (blog,
website, document, ...), ...

Anyways, if I'm not mistaken, Connotea (http://www.connotea.org/) can import
firefox bookmarks and can export them as Word 2007 sources.

Alternatively, you can do it yourself. The sources are stored in a simple
xml format in Word. If you know how Mozilla stores its bookmarks (json?),
you could probably write an xsl transformation which does the conversion.

Thanks very much for you time in advance!
