Peter, Are we talking about the same one that was in 1.9.113 and so forth? If so, I would have to say that it is a complete disaster. While, with a bit of work you can get it to format just about anything you want, it seems to fall short of any reasonable standard for bibliographic software. Unless I am missing something there does not seem to be any way to create various formatting masks or to even save the ones that you create. And its short name approach is terrible. Once you have created the short name you're stuck with it. Unfortunately it is quite possible to need to change formats from say (Name, Date) to (Name Date) and OOo won't let you do it. Have a look at Bibus or Scholar's Aid for some examples of what a bibliographic component should do. ----- John Kane Kingston ON Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED] (613) 888-2399 -- http://www.fastmail.fm - I mean, what is it about a decent email service?
