* In Microsoft Word 4.0 for Macintosh, you can use "footnote" command to insert

* This is a nice feature. *** However *** in many scientific documents, the same
* reference numbers can appear many times throughout the text.
* I want to maintain the features of automatic numbering and at the same time
* I want to use reference numbers more than once.

George Jefferson and Wayne Pollock recommended me to use WordRef written by
Mark H. Nodine. Wayne also introduced me several commercial bibliographic 
softwares. Martin Hitz from Canada explained me how to use multiple references
in PC. Many thanks!
       WordRef version 1.3 used to be in sumex (I heard) but it's been removed
from sumex. I got a copy of it directly from the author (Mark H. Nodine, man@cs.brown.edu).
It comes with a beautiful user's guide.
Here's the summary of what I got from the above people.

try using the (poorly named? ) "mail merge" feature.  If you have a 
small number of footnotes you can do it by hand, for bigger jobs
there are utilites such as WordRef (from sumex..) to help

basically you will use merge variables for each reference<<one>> and 
then repeat them in your bibliography<<a2>>. I hope you dont want
your footnotes at the bottom of the page<<one>>

endnotes...
<<one>> author one
<<a2>> and so on

The problem is that footnotes aren't the same as references.  You can't
use footnotes as references numbers, except in some special cases.  What
you want is some bibliography tool, which will automatically number your
references, and allow you to insert reference numbers at a given point.
If your reference list (i.e., your bibliography) changes, you would like
the reference numbers throughout the document to be automatically updated.

There is no real easy answers for this, since nearly all word processors
today cater to the business world first and the technical writing world
last.  In MS Word, you can use the sharware program WordRef, which allows
you to build a database of references using a pretty nice hypercard front
end.  You insert your references using MS Word's "Print Merge" variables.
so while you type you have references like "The earth is flat[<<bla82>]."
Then, after you use print merge, the document comes out with something like
"The earth is flat[2]."

The other solution for MS Word is commercial bibliography software.  I use
a program called EndNote, which works very well with Word and is easy to use.
I find it a bit limited in some areas, but overall its pretty good.  EndNote
doesn't directly support import or export of BibTeX files, but does support
some other common formats.

The problem is easier to solve in Nisus, if you take the trouble to learn
the macro language.  My favorite solution, particularly if your document
uses tables, figures, and equations, is to use LaTeX and BibTeX.  This
will take some effort to learn, but is very (the most) powerful, and best
of all you can get it free (OzTeX and BibTeX are available by anonymous
ftp).

Hope this helps!

seems to be gone..

try sending a note to the author -- Mark    man@cs.brown.edu

If he doesn't help, let me know and I'll upload a copy for you.
If you do find an ftp copy please let me know (so I can pass it along..) 
                                             *
By the way, word mail merge supports only 127 records, and the
version of Wordref (1.3) which was at sumex was stuck with that.
'bout a year ago Mark sent me a beta copy of "Wordref unlimited" which
gets around the limit (its a little rough around the edges, but it works )
If there is something newer available I'd like to hear about it..

*you might need two records per reference depending on your 'system'

Subject: WORD footnote question: "automatically numbered footnote"

Dear Dongchul,
I can only explain the solution to your problem for Word >= 5.0 for DOS.
However, it might work the same way on the Mac.

Footnotes are organized as a special type of numbering series. You can
refer to a certain footnote by following this procedure:

1) Insert a bookmark with a name of your choice (say, protein) immediately 
before or eventually on the footnote number in the footnote area (NOT in the
reference to the footnote).
2) Wherever you want to to refer to the same (existing) footnote, you
write
	footnote:bookmark-name
i.e.
	footnote:protein
followed by a command that marks this text as a series-reference (on a
PC, you hit F3 immediately after protein). The reference is then put
within parenthesis by WORD,
i.e.
	(footnote:protein)
and expands to the corresponding footnote number when printed.

Hope this works on a Mac,

Martin (hitz@csi.UOttawa.CA)
