Thanks Paul!
Very useful way. Now I do not need to purchase Endnote.

Hello, Paul

Thanks for your tips.

I managed to export my Jabref library into a XML file.
But when I try to import it to MS Word 2010 I don’t find the meu point “Manage Sources” in the “reference” tab of MS Word 2010.

What might be my problem?

Thanks in advance.

Bene

Hi SMajer,

Are you using the latest version of Jabref? Do you get the error “array index out of range:0″ within Jabref or in MS Word?

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul

I’m a new to jabref and when I try to export my file in xml.-format, the program gives me this error message: “array index out of range:0″
Any idea what’s going on? Since I’m also not very experienced with java scripts, I’m kind of at a loss here.

Hi, Paul. Thanks. I never know that to export the JabRef library into a Word 2007 XML bibligraphy is so useful. I tried to use plug-in JabRef in Word 2007, but I feel it is not very efficient.

[...] (Endnote, .ris, .bib etc). I then export the JabRef library into a Word 2007 XML bibliography. See my article on how to export a bib using Jabref into XML format in order to read it into Office [...]

Hi,

By doing steps 1. and 2., Jabref will export your bibliography you built in Jabref into an format suitable for importing into Word 2007. You should then import this file into Word 2007 by following the rest of the guide.

Hope that clarifies things, please leave another comment if not.

Hi Marta, thanks for the comment - there is a great open source effort called Bibword which is hosted at Codeplex adding new bibliography styles to Word 2007, check out http://bibword.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Styles&referringTitle=Home for a load of styles, including Harvard and IEEE, and installation instructions.
