Citation style
Hi,
Is there any way of changing the citation format from word 2007 slightly. I've had a comment from a thesis reviewer that (author, et al. 2008) is incorrect. It should be (author et al. 2008) is there a way I can remove the comma from the format. I realize I may end up making the change and then changing it back once a different editor gets a hold of it.... but in the mean time I need to remove the comma from all the citations with et al. Thanks. -Sue |

Yes, if you have XSLT knowledge, you can adapt the style to your needs. The
stylesheets are located at winword.exe directory\Bibliography\Style which commonly is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Bibliography\Style Which style are you trying to change? And what part? I'm assuming in-text citations by the brackets. If you could answer these questions, I or someone else might be able to help you locate more closely as to what to change where in those large XSL files.

The in text citations of both APA and Chicago style do this.
I looked through the style sheet and couldn't find the spot that dealt with the et al. I need to switch where the comma occurs before the et al. so (author, et al. 2008) needs to be (author et al. 2008) Any help is appreciated.

It might be interesting to create copies of the existing styles with
different names before starting to edit them. That way, you don't damage the original styles. To do so, see http://bibword.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?title=FAQ#Q8 Now, for APA, look for a piece of code looking like: xsl:when test="(position() = 1 and $cAuthors 6)" xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_ListSeparator"/ xsl:call-template name="templ_str_AndOthersUnCap"/ /xsl:when It should be located somewhere around line 3940. Change it into: xsl:when test="(position() = 1 and $cAuthors 6)" xsl:text /xsl:text xsl:call-template name="templ_str_AndOthersUnCap"/ /xsl:when That way, the separator will be replaced by a single space. In the Chicago template, you will have to change the code around line 3817 which looks like: xsl:when test = "$cAuthors 3 and position() = $minAuthors" xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_ListSeparator"/ xsl:call-template name="templ_str_AndOthersUnCap"/ /xsl:when Yves -- BibWord : Microsoft Word Citation and Bibliography styles http://bibword.codeplex.com "Susan Koziel" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the code! It saves me time trying to figure it out.

I have another question on the same topic.
Is there any way to alter the code to give me xsl:when test="(position() = 1 and $cAuthors 3)" rather then the current APA setting of six: xsl:when test="(position() = 1 and $cAuthors 6)" Again I've had a reviewer request that I use et al anytime more then three authors are listed. I tried just altering the $cAuthors 3 that gives me (first authors et al second author third author....sixth author) not exactly what I need.... but closer Thanks. -Sue |

Your approach should work, but you must make sure that you replace all
values '6' to '3'. Note that you can't do a global find/replace as this would influence some template names which contains the value '6' in their name. At first glance, without doing any extensive testing, the following works: xsl:variable name="author0" xsl:choose xsl:when test="string-length(msxsl:node-set($ListPopulatedWithMain)/b:Citation/b:Source/b:Author/b:Main/b:Corporate) 0" xsl:value-of select="msxsl:node-set($ListPopulatedWithMain)/b:Citation/b:Source/b:Author/b:Main/b:Corporate" / /xsl:when xsltherwise xsl:variable name="cAuthors" xsl:value-of select="count(msxsl:node-set($ListPopulatedWithMain)/b:Citation/b:Source/b:Author/b:Main/b:NameList/b:Person)" / /xsl:variable xsl:for-each select="msxsl:node-set($ListPopulatedWithMain)/b:Citation/b:Source/b:Author/b:Main/b:NameList/b:Person" xsl:choose xsl:when test="position() 3 or (position() 1 and $cAuthors 3)" /xsl:when xsl:when test="position() = 1" xsl:call-template name="formatNameCore" xsl:with-param name="FML" xsl:choose xsl:when test="msxsl:node-set($ListPopulatedWithMain)/b:Citation/b:NonUniqueLastName" xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_CitationLong_FML"/ /xsl:when xsltherwise xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_CitationShort_FML"/ /xsltherwise /xsl:choose /xsl:with-param xsl:with-param name="FM" xsl:choose xsl:when test="msxsl:node-set($ListPopulatedWithMain)/b:Citation/b:NonUniqueLastName" xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_CitationLong_FM"/ /xsl:when xsltherwise xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_CitationShort_FM"/ /xsltherwise /xsl:choose /xsl:with-param xsl:with-param name="ML" xsl:choose xsl:when test="msxsl:node-set($ListPopulatedWithMain)/b:Citation/b:NonUniqueLastName" xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_CitationLong_ML"/ /xsl:when xsltherwise xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_CitationShort_ML"/ /xsltherwise /xsl:choose /xsl:with-param xsl:with-param name="FL" xsl:choose xsl:when test="msxsl:node-set($ListPopulatedWithMain)/b:Citation/b:NonUniqueLastName" xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_CitationLong_FL"/ /xsl:when xsltherwise xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_CitationShort_FL"/ /xsltherwise /xsl:choose /xsl:with-param xsl:with-param name="upperLast"no/xsl:with-param xsl:with-param name="withDot"no/xsl:with-param /xsl:call-template /xsl:when xsl:when test="position() 1" xsl:call-template name="formatNameCore" xsl:with-param name="FML" xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_CitationShort_FML"/ /xsl:with-param xsl:with-param name="FM" xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_CitationShort_FM"/ /xsl:with-param xsl:with-param name="ML" xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_CitationShort_ML"/ /xsl:with-param xsl:with-param name="FL" xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_CitationShort_FL"/ /xsl:with-param xsl:with-param name="upperLast"no/xsl:with-param xsl:with-param name="withDot"no/xsl:with-param /xsl:call-template /xsl:when /xsl:choose xsl:choose xsl:when test="(position() = 1 and $cAuthors 3)" !--xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_ListSeparator"/-- xsl:text /xsl:text xsl:call-template name="templ_str_AndOthersUnCap"/ /xsl:when xsl:when test="position() 1 and $cAuthors 3" /xsl:when xsl:when test="($cAuthors - 1 = position() and ($cAuthors = 2))" xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_Space"/ xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_BeforeLastAuthor"/ xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_Space"/ /xsl:when xsl:when test="($cAuthors - 1 = position() and ($cAuthors 2))" xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_AuthorsSeparator"/ xsl:variable name="noAndBeforeLastAuthor" xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_NoAndBeforeLastAuthor"/ /xsl:variable xsl:if test="$noAndBeforeLastAuthor != 'yes'" xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_APA_BeforeLastAuthor"/ xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_Space"/ /xsl:if /xsl:when xsl:when test="$cAuthors position() and 3 position() " xsl:call-template name="templ_prop_AuthorsSeparator"/ /xsl:when /xsl:choose /xsl:for-each /xsltherwise /xsl:choose /xsl:variable Yves -- BibWord : Microsoft Word Citation and Bibliography styles http://bibword.codeplex.com "Susan Koziel" wrote in message ...

Hi Peter & Yves,
I realize that it's Chicago style. The issue is that there seems to be a preference from the one reviewer to have the inline citations only listing 3 authors max and the year; but a different reviewer wants to have the bibliography in APA style. My situtation is that I must make the changes to get the signature from the reviewers then send it to an editor who will ask for specific and final formating changes. I expect to put everything back to a uniform style when all is done, but in the mean time I have to deal with some non-uniform ideas about citation styles. When your reviewers are scientists sometimes the style they think is correct is not the correct style they think it is. This is a rather frustrating situation, and hence why I'm asking for code so I can switch back easily. But in the mean time I'm stuck making small (ish) changes to the current styles. At least all the changes to my thesis that are required are messing with styles, and sentence structures. Thanks Yves for all your help I will try to switch the numbers I missed and see if it works. -Sue "Peter T.

On a related note, how can I change the style sheet so that parantheses don't
automatically appear around a citation. For example "Tomaskovic-Devey (1993) concluded..." should have the citation in paranthesis.
