If anyone comes to this page looking for a great bibliography program integrated with word, try Zotero 1.5 Sync Preview. http://www.zotero.org/support/sync_preview It’s been pretty stable for me (despite the warning of data corruption on the webpage), it’s got quick keystroke shortcuts within Word, and supports Chicago-style footnotes. Pretty sweet.

Menphix, thank you a lot! I could not get my head around the bibliography, but thanks to you…Why does Microsoft discourage consumers so vehemently from writing texts (e.g. by hiding all these features) if they are selling text-processing tools?

Memphix, you’re a star! I had a dissertation research proposal to be submitted by midnight and at about 11:30 realised I couldn’t get the bibliography function to work. After nearly crying reading the earlier posts, I scrolled down and saw yours – and it worked fine! Phew.

Bibliography tools such as Bookends, EndNote, and Sente work easily with Nisus Writer Pro.

I actually find the solution to this problem. You have to click on “Gallery” button (besides “Toolbox”) to make the gallery strip appear.
Then you select “Document Elements” -> Bibliographies -> Works Cited or Bibliography. That will do the trick.

Hi Vincent,

in case you don’t already know it: ever tried out LyX (http://www.lyx.org/)? It’s basically a WYSIWYG front-end to LaTeX. Personally, I am not very fond of LaTeX but I’ve come to like LyX for paper writing. I almost never have to touch the TeX source and it already comes with many important templates such as RevTeX4.

Since Papers->Bibdesk seems to work nicely and since bibtex is nicely supported in LyX it might not be the worst thing to try out.

Cheers,
Jan

I just tried it and actually, in order to get the “bibliography” into the document you use that tabbed panel at the top that says “document elements”, then click on the little bubble that says “bibliographies”..it’ll put all of the sources in your source list into the word doc. My problem with it is the limited citation styles available. Hopefully my thesis will need one of the ones listed…or I’ll be able to find some downloadable styles.

The real disheartening thing about this is that Word 2007 for the PC handles this really well, allows you to put key sources right in the toolbar, and is fast.

PC Word is now strides ahead of Mac word, and Mac users simply don’t have a good word processor.
