Yes and no. Character attributes such as italic for a journal title are set by style. Layout, that is the order elemets (e.g. "Author, BookTitle, Publisher, Date" vs "Author, Date, BookTitle, Publisher) is set by a layout mask similar to the one for the TOC and that layout is what I so far cannot save. Mind you even the Style thing would require you to have a template for a paper or recreate the style every time you wanted to use the formating I believe. Not necessarily a bad thing but still limiting if you wanted to format a few references for a quick briefing note but only had the Style set up for a formal paper. > I have never used the bib before, just a thought that popped in my head. Thanks. My recommendation is don't.
