Footnotes & Bibliography
I want to have footnotes (references) and a bibliography. To do this, I want
things automated, so I only have to enter the info for each reference once. Is there a way to make a bibliography from footnotes, or visa versa? Thanks! |

Footnotes & Bibliography
The proper format for Footnotes and Bibliography are very different,
involving different punctuation, naming, and notation of page numbers. E.g. for books in approximately Chicago bibliographic style: Footnote: First Name Last Name, Title (City: Publisher, Date), page number referred to. Bibliography: Last Name, First Name. Title. City: Publisher, Date. You can't copy and paste straight out, or cross-reference the information. I don't know of any bibliographic styles (e.g. Chicago, APA, MLA) that require identical footnotes and bibliography. So about the only way to get this to work is to use bibliographic management software (e.g. EndNote, Reference Manager, or if you google for bibliography software you should find a page comparing about 8 programs). Such software lets you enter the info once, then you enter fields from the software into Word, and let the program format the footnotes and biblio properly, according to the style you set. Depending on the standard of bibliographic formatting that is required of you, there might be other workarounds. DM "Curran" wrote: I want to have footnotes (references) and a bibliography.

Footnotes & Bibliography
Insert Reference Footnote
within this menu, you can choose either Footnote or Endnote. If you want to Cross Reference a reference, you can go: Insert Reference Cross Reference and a menu will pop up asking what you wanted to reference and if you just want the number (symbol, etc.) or the whole text, etc. It gives many options. --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |
