Thanks for drawing this to our attention. I do not have a version MS office that will work with the template document but I would guess the application is written in MS Visual Basic and is included as a macro in the template. To do the same thing in OpenOffice a programmer would have to convert the Microsoft Visual Basic code to OpenOffice Basic. This would be a major rewrite of the application as the two languages and software structures they work with are different. Two bibliographic programs which do work with OpenOffice are B3 and Bibus. regards David > I'm completely > clueless about these template files. > > It has been written by Dr Mike Brookes [1] - he offers the template > itself [2] & a short manual [3]. > > Cheers, > Christos > [1] http://www.ee.ic.ac.uk/hp/staff/dmb/dmb.html > [2] http://www.ee.ic.ac.uk/hp/staff/dmb/perl/bibtex4word.dot > [3] http://www.ee.ic.ac.uk/hp/staff/dmb/perl/bibtex4word.doc > > Christos Kloukinas wrote: > > Hi all, > > you may want to check out rtfbtx, a hacked collection of BibTeX styles > > for doing bibliographies with MS Word & BibTeX. > > It produces the bibliography in RTF format & uses bookmarks to link > > citations to it. > > > > I've tried using it with OpenOffice and it only works for the alpha > > style, since for the rest I'm supposed to link to the "paragraph number" > > of the bookmark and OO doesn't support such a thing. > > > > It is available at: > > http://www.dmst.aueb.gr/dds/sw/ports/rtfbtx/ > > > > Regards, > > Christos -- ------------------- David N.
