I have a shareware package called WordRef which keeps a bibliographic
database in HyperCard and can do automatic generation of references from
Word documents using the Print Merge facility. It has been posted to
sumex and I have also sent a copy to comp.binaries.mac, although it
has not appeared yet. Here's the description of it:
Here is an application and HyperCard stack I developed for producing cross-
references and bibliographies using Word 3/4. It is yet another facility
which uses the Print Merge facility of Word, but I have tried to do it in
a way which is more general than any of the systems which preceded me, so
that it should be able to handle virtually any cross-referencing and
bibliography needs. It is a ShareWare package and may be distributed
not-for-profit as long as the application, stack, and document are all
kept together.
Some of the features are:
o No limit on the number of counters (variables) used for cross-
references
o Variables can be combined in general arithmetic expressions
o Increment operators are included for convenience
o Variables can have strings interspersed with numbers
o Can scan Word files directly (if Fast Save is off)
o There can be any number of Word files or bibliography files in a
single manuscript
o The bibliography files are kept in the ever popular BibTeX format
o A HyperCard stack is provided for maintaining the bibliography
files
o You can keep comments/keywords with the bibliographic references
o Several different citations styles are provided to go at the point
of reference
o A user-definable style sheet is used for formatting the
bibliography entries.
Enjoy!
