So I started digging in myself. I started adding some bibliographies in Microsoft Office Bibliography Editor. I was almost certain that Office will import a copy of this file without any problem. But wait, where are my previous bibliographic sources? I wanted to find out the least possible information required for the XML file to be recognized as a valid bibliographic source by Office The bare minimum is:.
Word generates GUIDs when users add or edit a source. This enables Word to determine which source is most recent, based on the value of the GUID, and to prompt whether the user wants Word to update the outdated source to maintain continuity between the master list and the current list.
The LCID specifies the language for the source. See MSDN for valid language identification values. For example, one source may be written in French, one in English, and one in Japanese. Now that I deciphered how bibliographic information can be presented in an XML, so that Office recognizes it as a bibliographic source, I can now list down all the bits and pieces that can go inside it. Please follow my next post on it. I posted this already under another post of your blog but it may be useful here as well: Bibutils has added initial support for conversion of bibliographic formats to Word bibliographic XML format, which may be useful in figuring out your own export module or might be even used instead of writing your own converter.

Another question… probably wrong to place it here, but anyhow: I have the German version of Office Comment by Andrej — August 18, pm Reply. Comment by durian — October 11, pm Reply.

Comment by masoud moshref — January 6, am Reply. Another important difference is that MSBib has fields that are specific to some source or entry types, whereas BibTex has a common set of field types applicable to anything. Correct me if I am wrong about BibTex here.
Obvious enough that, there may not be one to one mapping for all of them. In such cases I will try to put them as misc entry or some other similar types. Remember this table as well as any other table in this document is subject to change, as I learn more.
First I would like to show the details of MSBib fields starting with composite Author field and then discussing the rest of it. Later a comparison with BibTex will be presented. Author Field MSBib authors are composite structures. Author can be of following types:. Each of the sub-types of Author contains a NameList containing one or more Person s or a field Corporate , comma separated list of corporate persons.
They are presented in MSBib as. Special fields for each source types is presented after that. Similar fields in BibTex As I mentioned earlier in this post the comparison will be based on a linear mapping table as shown in Table 3.
Table 2 contains the mapping of author fields. This articles is more or less complete here. I hope to update this post as soon as I get more info about these formats. Thank you for reading it. Ping I love visitors. So let me ping important sources so that people come to know about this article. Please follow my next post on […].

I used EndNote a few years ago and was not happy with it. I have the new Office , but as usual hate to move to anything new. But perhaps its biblio capability may cause me to use it. Comment by Hardjono — April 7, pm Reply.
Thank you for this report. I am happy that word is finally starting to propose advanced features for bibliography, like open office has done for years now. However it is still hard to use. I also know or at least I think I know that a major issue remains regarding the formatting of bibliographic references fieds, order, style etc…. Any info on that aspect?

I had to smile when I read your remark about correcting you if you were wrong about BibTex. What Word does is just show a subset based on some config file. The fact if a field is recommended depends on the style you use, different styles will have different fields selected. Comment by Yves — February 26, pm Reply. Comment by paulo — July 25, am Reply.
