A couple of comments on bibliographies. I am currently endeavouring to prepare a 2nd edition of a textbook using only Open Office and I would love to see better integration of Endnote with OOo. I would encourage all suers to contact Endnote using the web site below to request this.

While OOo does have some built-in bibliography capabilities, my review of the documentation suggests that they are not at all comparable to those of dedicated bibliography packages (Endnote, Reference Manager etc.) While the bibliography project may tackle this large gap ... in the short run we should encourage vendors of existing packages to support OOo

Hi there,

I would love to use openoffice writer. However, I have to use a program called Endnote to insert a bibliography in current documents I am writing. Maybe you have heard of it. Endnote provides the option to add a toolbar to Word. Is there an option to use it in your program as well?


No there isn't but you can suggest to the developers of EndNote that they add such support. It would be trivial. You can provide feedback and suggestions for EndNote at: http://www.endnote.com/ensuggest.asp

OpenOffice has built-in support for maintaining a bibliography - I just had a quick browse through the OpenOffice help files, and it looks easy enough to use.

There is also a project to greatly enhance OpenOffice's bibliography support. See: http://bibliographic.openoffice.org/
They are currently looking for volunteers.
