THank you very much for your response. Is the right way to use this package
the following:
1. I created a file named style.bst
2 I tape in a command window latex style.bst
It doesn't seem to make appear any dialog box.
What did I wrong?
THanks

"Easy" is in the eye of the beholder. Your best bet is to install the
LaTeX package custom-bib, if you don't already have it, and then check
the documentation. To use custom-bib, you run latex.exe against a file
that essentially produces an interactive dialog. Answer all the
questions about how the style should look, and it generates your .bst
file. It also records the batch file that produced the .bst file, in a
way that's easy to edit afterward, in case you want to modify the style
without going through the entire dialog again.
I've had pretty good luck with custom-bib. At least once, though, I
needed something custom-bib couldn't do, so I had to generate a "close"
style using custom-bib and then hack it with copious help from people in
the group.
