It depends on what you mean by "Chicago Writing Style." If you mean that you
want to create a document following the guidelines of the Chicago Manual of
Style, then you must create a document or template with the required styles
for headings, body text, block text, footnotes, etc. Word has built-in
styles for all of these elements; you can modify them as needed. There is
nothing native to Word, however, that will help you set up footnotes or
bibliography. Third-party add-ins such as Endnote will do this, but it is
just as easy to do this manually in Word if you can follow the book's
examples. If you could do it with a typewriter, you can certainly do it in
Word!

There's a footnote wizard in "macros9.dot", with support fort the "Chicago
Manual of Style", and the style of the Modern Language Association.
It's "macros8.dot" for Word97. The dot has been removed in Word2002/2003,
but the macros should still work if you have the dot from a previous
version.

Search your hard disk... it's probably in the "Programs/Microsoft
Office/Office/Samples" folder.
