Control of font in citations and bibliography
Author: Ivan S Baturin    Posted: Wed, 01 Mar 2006 16:40:00 -0800
Hello! How is it possible to control the appearance of in-text citations and bibliography list in RefMan using MS Word? I am trying to set the Times New Roman font in "Generate Bibliography", but all text inserted are in Arial :(. Moreover, ";" - separator between citations number is in Courier New font. It seems that in output style editor the text areas is not plain text, but RichEdit without possibility to control fonts in it... I have tried to copy and paste format of links from Word where Times New Roman is chosen in Definition, but with no success. I think that I am overlooking something clear and obvious... Can anyone share his experience with this? Thanks in advance! Best regards, Ivan Baturin Ekaterinburg, Russia

I have found the easiest way is simply to set up a style in Word that suits you. Then apply the style to the biblio after updating. It gives you complete control of formatting but requires one manual step. One problem is that every time a reference changes is made afterwards, RefMan will override some of the style settings. I do this only for final copies. The easiest wat to set up a style is to format one paragraph exactly as you like, and then type in a style name (e.g., References") in the style box on the menu. Yo ucan modify the style laer usign the style editor (button has two "A"s to the left of style name. The nice thing about this is that you can reuse the style by either creating a template or just copying a paragraph with that style to a new document. Richard B.

I discovered that when you set up the output styles they must be written in Courier font, then they will take whatever font you chose in reference manager. If they do not look like they are in courier, copy and paste to MS Word, highlight everything, change the font to courier then paste them back to reference manager and save.

Hello Richard, Thank you. I have already stop trying and come to this solution. As for in-text citation (in []) I have found that find/replace dialog with wildcards and formatting fixed this out by one button click :). > I have found the easiest way is simply to set up a style in Word that > suits you.

Hi, Norman! Aha, it sounds interesting. I will try. Thank you! By the way, does there any path to do it in a batch for all references in DB at once?
