Is there an easy way to do IEEE style reference

Guest

Is there an easy way to do IEEE style references in Word? If you're not
familiar with it, you put a number in square brackets [x] next to the
citation and have a list of references at the end of the document arranged by
first appearance.

So, it's basically like endnotes, but not superscript, and in square
brackets. Is there a way to make Word automatically put square brackets
around endnote numbers?

I think you need a macro. Try this:

'_______________________________________
Sub InsertFootnote()

Dim LocCursor As Range
Dim LocCursor1 As Range

Set LocCursor = Selection.Range

With ActiveDocument.Range(Start:=ActiveDocument.Content.Start, End:= _
ActiveDocument.Content.End)
With .EndnoteOptions
.Location = wdEndOfDocument
.NumberingRule = wdRestartContinuous
.StartingNumber = 1
.NumberStyle = wdNoteNumberStyleArabic
End With
.Endnotes.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Reference:=""
End With

With Selection
.HomeKey wdLine
.MoveRight wdSentence, 1, wdExtend
.Font.Superscript = False
.HomeKey wdLine
.TypeText "["
.MoveRight wdCharacter, 1
.TypeText "]"
.EndKey wdLine
End With

With LocCursor
.InsertBefore "["
.SetRange LocCursor.Start, LocCursor.End + 1
.InsertAfter "]"
.Font.Superscript = True
.SetRange LocCursor.End, LocCursor.End
End With

Set LocCursor1 = LocCursor.Duplicate
LocCursor1.SetRange LocCursor1.End, LocCursor1.End + 1

If Not LocCursor1 = " " Then
LocCursor.InsertAfter " "
LocCursor.Font.Superscript = False
End If

End Sub
'_______________________________________

Make sure you do not change the name of the macro if you want this to happen
automatically.
If you want to have the option of inserting regular footnote *and* these
special endnotes, change the macro name and call the macro explicitly when
you need an endnote (as is, whenever you do Insert > Reference... >
Footnote, my macro will be automatically called).

It's pretty difficult to do automatically - I haven't checked out Jean-Guy's
code but it's probably good.

However, you might find it easier to do as a final step before submitting
your document. While you're working create your citations as Endnotes and
when you're done do a Find and Replace: Find ^e (caret, e) and Replace with
[^&] (left bracket, caret, ampersand, right bracket) - format the
replacement as Not Superscript/Subscript - then hit Replace All.

Ah, right... I got carried away and forgot to think about other options!

No problem - I do it all the time!

I love code, but all Office programs actually have immense power without it
and I like to harness that if I can - but you can't remember it all, all the
time :)
