Exporting Word 2008 Citations from Citation Manager

[huck]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

I began writing my dissertation when Endnote was not compatible with Word 2008, so I simply used Word's Citation Manager. Now I would like to EXPORT my WORD 2008 Bibliographic references from the Citation Manager to Zotero or Endnote--or any format for that matter.

Question 1: Is this possible?
Question 2: If not, Mac team, do you plan on adding this functionality (it is the only way I will ever use your citation manager again)?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,

see inline for answers.

Question 1: Is this possible?

Not as far as I know, but someone more knowledgeable in that area might be
able to contradict me.

Question 2: If not, Mac team, do you plan on adding this functionality (it is
the only way I will ever use your citation manager again)?

Keep in mind that you are not talking to Microsoft here; we are only
volunteers. If you really want to talk to Microsoft employees, click on
Help>Send Feedback about Word and leave your feedback.

Thanks, Michael. I've sent feedback as you suggested. Cheers.

I never use this stuff but you may be able to find at least some of the
data used by the citation manager in

/Users/<yourusername>/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Source.xml

Whether the citation manager merges "Source.xml" data from more than one
place I cannot tell you.
