references in Word

[z20021965]

I've got someone I'm trying to help who is switching from writing
scientific papers in LaTeX to writing them in Word (2003). What they
want to be able to do is to have the references at the end of the
paper, but they want to be able to reference multiple times. i.e. They
want to be able to cite (for the sake of argument) reference 2 several
times in the course of the paper without it generating a new number
which Word seems to do when using endnotes. The other thing they want
to do is somehow be able to assign a what can best be described as a
keyword to a particular reference, and when they want to refer to that
reference in the body of the paper they want to be able to use the
keyword somehow to make that reference. An example would be they have
a endnote referring to a paper by Dr. Smith that refers to Mercury
research. The person wants to be able to assign that reference
something like "mercury" so everytime they want to cite that reference
they can just tkype "mercury" and it will know that is the
reference/endnote to go to.

Thanks,
Rig

Rig:

Try this.

1. Place the insertion point where you want the cross-reference to
appear.

2. On the Insert menu, click Cross-reference.

3. In the Reference type list, select Footnote or Endnote. Select the
footnote or endnote that you want to refer to, and then click Insert.

4. If you want the cross-reference to be displayed in superscript like
the original, follow these steps:

a. To display the field codes, select the cross-referenced item, and
then press SHIFT + F9.

A field similar to the following is displayed:

{NOTEREF _Ref0123456789 \h}

b. Place the insertionpoint betweenthe final number and the closing
brace.

c. Press SPACEBAR once, and then type \f.

The field now resembles the following:

{NOTEREF _Ref0123456789 \h \f}

d. With the insertin point in the field, press F9 to update the field.

e. Press SHIFT + F9 to show the cross-reference.

I hope this is helpful to you.

Book mark the reference with the tag "mercury".
Everytime they want to cite that reference they can just:
1) type mercury
2) select mercury
3) Crtl-K <insert hyperlink>
4) click "Bookmarks..." button
5) choose the reference bookmark tag
6) done!
