- You don't need a macro. There's a bibliography "style" that comes with WPWIN.
- Since you've got your references coming in as unformatted text, you can't
- just start the style and then type in your text. However, you can bring the
- text into your WP document, make sure it is formatted with hard returns between
- the references, and then cut it to the clipboard.
-
- Open the Bibliography style where you want it to begin. Go into Reveal Codes
- mode and be sure the cursor is on the StyleOff code (immediately after the
- StyleOn since you haven't typed anything in yet). Then Paste in your clipboard
- text. Being there between the style codes, it should do exactly what you asked
- for.
