Description Unknown 2002-05-03 21:03:41 UTC 
I have been working with the bibliography utility trying to make it spit out 
APA formatted citations.  While you can change the structure of the reference 
in the insert table/index-> entries dialog box.  This appears to only apply to 
the current bibliography index.  I can't find a way to save this either as a 
template or with the file itself.  Removing the bibliography entry requires 
going through the formatting all over again.

At a minimum, it would be nice to have a way to save bibliography settings as a 
preference.  In addition bibliography template files would enable a person to 
switch between multiple styles for a given document and be able to standardize 
styles by providing multiple templates.  Changing the styles manually every 
time I create a document would be an added irritation.

I highly agree that it would be nice to save/load bibliography styles.
Presently I have to cut/paste in the XML file if I would like to
transfer my bibliography setting among different documents, which is a
very time consuming, low level emergency solution.

SBA->ES: Feel free to add hints before forwarding to CJ.
Comment 3 eric.savary 2002-10-01 18:14:07 UTC 
ES->CJ: I also agree, it would be a nice feature.
Maybe it would be a task for the people from Endnote on OpenOffice
(ask LHO, he lnows about this..)
