You may be correct, I haven't used it in a full fledged paper yet, I was
just dinking around with it. From what I did though it seemed sufficient
for simple documentation. Perhaps not though.
Have a nice day,

I had no idea Writer has such a sweet bibliography tool built in. That
is something that costs a lot of money normally isn't it?
Have a nice day,
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.
