When inserting a citation some will have the author, title and date. Others
have only the author and date. i.e. (Gurdjieff, Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson 1950) is one such citation as I would like it to appear. There was only one insert of citation - I am aware that it is possible to insert multiple citation in one place in order to get the correct format....but this is extemely awkward to say the least. Other citation inserts do not include all the info i. e. (Ouspensky 1949). I can get the title to appear if I do another insertion into the same spot and suppress the author and date. |

This is because you are "abusing" existing styles. The styles you are using are not showing author, title, and date by design. You have to find a style somewhere that does, or create your own style from scratch. You can edit the existing styles if your required changes are very minimal, otherwise I would strongly advise against it as the existing stylesheets are rather complex. Creating your own style requires XSLT knowledge. For some guidance by Microsoft see: http://blogs.msdn.com/microsoft_offi...ions-1011.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/microsoft_offi...om-styles.aspx Alternatively, you can check out a little project I manage at http://bibword.codeplex.com . It uses a conditional language on top of XSLT to allow for faster creation of new styles. You don't need to know XSLT, a basic knowledge of tags is enough to create your own style.

Don't know how you came to the conclusion "I am abusing existing styles". I
am using the styles that came with word 2007 and have not altered them. "Yves Dhondt" wrote: "jack" wrote in message ... When inserting a citation some will have the author, title and date.

I have also examined the actual xml source and find no difference between the
bib entries for those display author, date and title and those which display on author and date. "Yves Dhondt" wrote: "jack" wrote in message ...

I used the word "abusing" to point out that you are trying to use the
existing styles to display something the styles aren't designed for. None of the styles that come with Word show Author, Title, and Year by default for in-text citations. Some show the title if there are multiple works by the same author in the same year though. The "suppress"-dialog is a bit misleading in its name. The flags only have meaning if the data is actually displayed by the formatting algorithm. Yves -- http://bibword.codeplex.com "jack" wrote in message ...

!Ah So I think you have solved the riddle. Indeed there are multiple titles
where the citation is including title, date and author.

With Yves help here's a tip. If you want your citations to display author,
title and date (which apparently is not according to etiquette, but nonetheless it's what I wanted), then create an additional entry in the bibliography source with the same author name. Leave everything else blank in the biliography source. Now when inserting citation author, date and title will display. No need to worry about extras appearing in the bibliography as they don't display there....apparently because the source contains nothing but author. |

While the formatting and updating facility microsoft provides for bib is
great the actual use of the entire feature in my opinion is awful to put it mildly. Zoter though isn't any better it seems to require firefox which is a browser I've given up on and Yves bibword is an tangle as far as I'm concerned.
