Creating Sources

[Monica]

I often use online databases to find information for essays and such. Which
option would be my best bet to plug in the information properly? I know there
IS something to use for journal articles, but those seem to be for print. Can
it apply for web versions too?

I'm not entirely sure, but I doubt any of the styles that came with Word
2007 add electronic information to journal articles.

What Word does is collect all the information you provided for a certain
source and pass it along to your style (an xslt file). Your style then takes
the bits and pieces it needs, formats them to its requirements and passes
the result back to Word for displaying. Hence, the question if your 'journal
article' entry will handle items the way you want, is purely dependent on
the style you use.

(In theory, the organization responsible for the way your bibliography
should look, should provide an xsl file for Word. The reality though is that
none do.)
