citing two different sources with the same year and author

Hi,

when I'm citing two document from the same author and the same year, both
are cited the same:

(author, 2008) and (author, 2008)

how can I change that to unique identifiers, like

(author, 2008#1) and (author, 2008#2)

? ... and - I'm just wondering - why isn't that done automatically?

It's not supported. And with the way how in-text citations are
currently handled, it can't be done without external help.

From http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA100674921033.aspx: "If
you choose a GOST or ISO 690 style for your sources and a citation is
not unique, append an alphabetic character to the year. For example, a
citation would appear as [Pasteur, 1848a].". So Microsoft is saying
that you have to do it yourself.
