Word 2007 xsl Bibliographical Modifications

[MIS Dude]

Hi Folks,

I am trying to modify the current ISO690Nmerical.XSL file (in directory:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\Bibliography\Style) in hopes of
making my own.

I have managed to change a few formats, however, am stumped on:

1.) Changing the style name from "ISO 690 Numerical" to "My Bibliography".
I've already tried writing...

<xsl:template match="b:StyleName">
<xsl:text>My Bibliography</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

....but apparently the template name in the xml isn't "StyleName", does
anyone know the template name equivalent in this document?

2.) Changing the order of the "Journal Article" reference type from [Title,
Author] to [Author, Title]? I've found that "Journal Article" proves to be a
bit more difficult than the "Book" (@ ln 4500) because the Title and Author
'seemingly' appear out of nowhere, but of course, I may have been looking at
this for too long ;^D

3.) In the citations section, instead of showing multiple references as
follows (1,2,3), write (1-3) instead.

4.) If there are more than 3 authors, write "et alum" afterwards.

Any help or pointers would be much appreciated...

Happy Holidays Folks & Happy Coding!

MIS Dude,
Word PM Amani has a great post that might at least begin to address your
questions on the Word Team's Blog (even thought it looks like you might have
already taken a look at it):

Thanks a lot steveO for your response. I've made quite a bit of progress
since then thanks to the post you've identified. Only issue remaining now
are:

1.) Organically creating my own <Important Fields>
2.) Turning [1;2;3] into [1-3]

Tricky stuff...

Cheers,

MIS Dude

Is it possible to share your findings and success. I would also like to know
the answers to the questions from your first post.
Thanks.
