Re: literature database

MS-Word's print merge feature will easily format references if you have 
the reference broken into the necessary fields, i.e. author, year, 
title, journal, and volume and pages.

If you have acquired your references from GeoRef etc, most of the work 
is done, except for separating the volume and pages from the journal 
portion.

I import or type a reference only once, into a FileMaker database.  From 
then on, I export the appropriate references into a print merge data set 
and print merge it using the appropriate format for the report or 
article.
