Combine multiple master lists for bibliography?
A colleague and I have created our own master lists for bibliographies on our
own computers, hence have two .xml files. We wanted to combine them, so that all in our workplace can share one central .xml file which has all references in it. Is it possible to combine the two .xml files, other than resorting to manually re-typing the entries? Cheers, M. |

Combine multiple master lists for bibliography?
Hi,
I used the following workaround successfully in the past: 1)Create a new docx document. 2)Go to the reference tab and select 'Manage Sources'. 3)Select all elements in the master list box on the left, and click 'Copy -' to copy them to your document. 4)Save the document and transfer it to your other computer. 5)Open the document on the other computer. 6)Go to the reference tab and select 'Manage Sources'. 7)Select all elements in current list, and click '- Copy' to merge them into your master list. Then, when you have one list, you could store it in a central place and use the 'Browse ...' functionality in the 'Manage Sources' to both connect to the same list. That is, if Word 2007 does not lock the file to limit access to it to one user at a time.
