MS Word’s native bibliography/citation handling?
January 18th, 2008 at 0:11Both MS Word 2007 (Windows) and MS Word 2008 (Mac) claim to have citation and bibliographic features for writers who need that support – though with a limited set of bibliographic styles. Does anyone have any experience working with them or compared them to a third-party add-on like Endnote? If you only used the supplied styles could you do away with EndNote (and the perennial compatibility problems whenever the OS, word processor or EndNote gets updated)?

MS Word2007 Citations & Bibliography feature is defective at best and flawed at worse. If it works it is extremely basic so I recommend you have some sort of backup application.
