I have a slightly different requirement, that may be covered by what you write above. In writing a large document (e.g. a thesis or book) I would like to list references at the end of each chapter, and then consolidate all those references at the end of the work. I would most likely use a master document to segregate the work and the consolidated reference list would probably go directly into the master document rather than a sub-document. There are some complications to this. If an Author-Year citation system is employed it must be ensured that consistent postscripts (e.g. Thornley, 2005a; Thornley, 2005b) are used throughout. If a numbered citation system is employed the numbering would have to be consistent throughout Vincent Thornley --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
