Can also use BiblioSidekick to list records and drop placeholders in text	BK:  will insert the bibliography at the end of the document if you scan from within MS-Word or Nisus Writer or Mellel; otherwise either in the clipboard or in a file	LM:	Pr:	En: CWYW can work with MS-Word 'Track changes' mode on. Use MS-Word 'Remove codes' command  to clean up formatted wp document and forward it to publisher, creates a copy of original document N.B. it removes also MS-Word's cross-references field coding Traveling library (type A) any author can work on a document with formatted citations prepared by another author, without having his db at hand. The MS-WORD document -via CWYW- actually swallows the whole bibliographic record (apart from Custom fields, Notes and Abstract) and embeds it in the document; can export embedded records to an En db (or import from; record numbers change); 'traveling library' function cannot be turned off  Instant formatting (type A) can -optionally- instantly format record in the final style, before generating the document and the bibliography list (WYSIWYG-like) Edit citations (type A) can alter the basic placeholder by adding suffixes, prefixes, pages, can do it in a smooth way, by just entering data in windows, without resorting to coded commands; the same for mere notes in a numbered style Figures and Tables/charts (type A) It searches (by using all fields, including caption words) figures in db records and inserts in-text figures citations, e.g.: "(Figure 1)" [not the citation of the record containing it or the figure's caption]: the formatted figure list, along with the graphic images, appears either at the end of the document, after the bibliography or attached to the citation's paragraph Document templates (type A) Can choose among some 175 shipped manuscript templates:  i.e. MS-WORD style document .DOT with structured sections	RM: A. MS-WORD 97, 2000, XP Remove codes can remove all third party codes from the formatted wp document to be forwarded to the publisher, it creates a copy of the original document and does not remove other MS-Word's codes Traveling library any author can work on a document with formatted citations prepared by another author, without having his db at hand. The MS-WORD document -via CWYW- actually swallows the whole bibliographic record (apart from Notes and Abstract) and embeds it in the document; can export embedded records to an RM db (or import from; record numbers change). Instant formatting can -optionally- instantly format record in the final style, before generating the document and the bibliography list (WYSIWYG-like) Edit citations can alter the basic placeholder by adding suffixes, prefixes, pages in a smooth way, by just entering data in windows, without resorting to coded commands; the same for mere notes in a numbered style	Papyrus:
