All this talk about different word processor features... However, I have 
yet to see or hear of a word processor that supports "scientific-style"
references.  

In all scientific publications, each article that is referenced is
assigned a unique number that is cited multiple times throughout the
document.  I find it hard to believe that a "standard" such as Word 5.0 
does not support such an essential feature.  Maybe non-scientific
users don't care, but to scientific writers this is crucial.  

And yes, I am aware that third party software (such as EndNote, or
ProCite) can provide flexible reference managament, but it is just 
too combersome to use two programs for such a simple task.
