The Microsoft Office Word Team’s Blog : Final paper time
With mid-terms, exams, and most importantly, final papers coming up, I wanted to drill into some of the capabilities that might help student readers with their workloads. Citations, equations, and the like saw some pretty cool changes in 2007.
The References Tab of the ribbon is kind of like a one stop shop for any true academic.
You can see that everything lives here from the ability to quickly create a table of contents to putting in citations. I know that when I was in college, the biggest pain for me was going back and writing up citations. I would spend weeks putting together a paper and finish up that conclusion only to realize that I needed to go back and painstakingly create my bibliography. Now, while some students may have been more organized than me and diligently kept their list running as they worked, our functionality saves them time too. So in this post we are going to talk about what we can do here and how to really make one heck of a bibliography.

The Microsoft Office Word Team’s Blog: Bibliography and Citations 1011
A couple of weeks ago we posted on bibliographies and citation, and it quickly became the most commented post we’ve ever had. Looks like we left a lot of questions unanswered!

A Bibliography Manager for Microsoft Word
The quality and/or usefulness of any information source is often measured in terms of both the accuracy of its contents and the list of references to previous, related work that it includes. For a writer, especially in the academic/scientific world, keeping an up-to-date, well-organized bibliography database is becoming a key part of daily work. However, very few utilities for bibliography management are currently available. Among them, BibTeX [1] is probably the most used due to its portability and seamless integration with LaTeX [2], one of the most accepted text processing systems among the world’s scientific community.
In this paper we introduce BibWord, a suite of tools for bibliography management integrated in Microsoft Word that allow an automatic, customized generation of the reference list in a document by inserting items from a bibliographic database developed in Microsoft Access.
