Citations in Footnote format

[ryanswj]

hello, i'm doing a document where i have to cite sources. I start by creating
a citation source, then a footnote for the citation. When i go to the bottom
to enter my footnote, I click citation and then the citation that I want to
insert. However, it is in the wrong format.

It appears something like (Microsoft, 1999) when I want it to display

Microsoft (1999). The Benefits of Windows 2000. Some Magazine Company, 2.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Word 2007 does not support footnote citations by default, only in-text
citations.

You have to either create the style you want yourself (which is complicated
but doable if you have time and xslt knowledge), or you have to rely on
whatever extra styles you can find on the internet.

Some beta footnote styles I created, can be found on
http://bibword.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Styles (look for Chicago
footnotes or MHRA). They might be enough for what you need.

hi yves,

thanks for your reply. Any way I can get the citations in the footnotes
automatically without learning complex xslt or typing it manually?

thanks a lot

No.

If you can't find the style you want, you are stuck to either creating it
yourself (involving XSLT) or type everything by hand and not use the
feature.
