So we’re in a dilemma - do we take on one of the default styles provided in Microsoft Word 2007, or do we just not use the automated citation and bibliography function? But that’s not how we do it where I’m currently working.Īnd when it comes to the bibliography or reference list, even the formatting that’s the closest to what we use is not exactly right. However, many of the default citation styles in Word 2007 use a format such as (Smith, 2005) - note the comma separating the author and the year.
In fact, you may well abandon the whole idea of automated citations and bibliographies.įor example, the style my client uses for a citation is ( ), such as (Smith 2005). However, it soon becomes apparent that if you’re using some variation of these, or another style altogether (perhaps a house style), you’re very limited in what you can do.
One of the neat new features in Word 2007 is the ability to create automated citations and bibliographies that follow a particular style, such as Chicago, APA, Turabian, etc. Please note: This article is not about how to create a bibliography in Word 2007 - it’s about the limitations of the list of available bibliographic styles that come with Word.
