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!
