AIP format for references

Has anyone implemented an AIP format for references in 2007?
Or know how to edit ISO 690 to look similar?

Has anyone implemented an AIP format for references in 2007?

Probably not.

Or know how to edit ISO 690 to look similar?

The styles are created using XSLT, so you have to have some knowledge about
that before you will be able to do the editing.

Although you could edit one of the existing styles (like ISO 690), I would
advise against it. The styles that come with Word 2007 are over 3000 lines
each and completely undocumented. If you can get hold of Word 2007 for Mac,
you should use those styles as they contain at least some comments.

If you would do it from scratch, the following sites/articles might be of
interest:

http://blogs.msdn.com/microsoft_off...phy-citations-102-building-custom-styles.aspx
http://bibword.codeplex.com

The last one is a little project I created and which offers a slightly
simpler language on top of XSLT to create a bibliography.

Thanks Yves,
no solution for the superscript?
is there a way to make numerical references (1)(2)(3)(6) become 1-3,6 as
references within file?

Not directly, but you can apply an character style to each in-text citation
so they appear in superscript. Or if you are lazy, you can use the macro
found at http://bibword.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Styles_FAQ#Q9 to
apply the style to all of them at once. The first time, it will also create
the style.

Once the style is applied to an in-text citation, it will remain, even after
field updates.

is there a way to make numerical references (1)(2)(3)(6) become 1-3,6 as
references within file?

Yes and no. You can group them automatically as (1,2,3,6) but not as
(1-3,6). To group them as (1,2,3,6), enter the first in-text citation (1),
put your cursor on the citation (the grey field, or the field with the
rectangle around it) and once again do "Insert citation". Now they should be
displayed as (1,2) rather than (1)(2).

If you aren't able to do that, you can do it manually. Right click on the
first citation, and pick "Edit field...". You will see something like
"CITATION abc05 \l 1033". Here you can add your other citations using "\m"
followed by their tag. For example "CITATION abc05 \l 1033 \m def06 \m
ghi07".

As grouping logic (1-3) is not possible by design, you could do that
manually in the END after you converted them all to static text. To convert
all in-text citations to static text, you can use the macro at
http://bibword.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Styles_FAQ#Q10 if you don't
want to do it by hand. Note that it is necessary to convert them all to
static text as fields might get updated and your hand made changes might be
overwritten otherwise.
