Overview

Bibtex4Word is a useful Word add-in that allows you to use your existing BibTeX database and favorite bibliography styles in Word.


Installation

To use Bibtex4Word (which only works on a PC) you will need to install the following:

  • JabRef (well, actually any reference manager that will allow you to keep track of your BibTex database, but a number of people in the lab prefer JabRef)
  • MikTex
  • Bibtex4Word macro

There are excellent installation instructions and test documents available at the Bibtex4Word site: http://www.ee.ic.ac.uk/hp/staff/dmb/perl/index.html

An error occurred: source file: Libraries\MiKTeX\Core\Process.cpp source line: 296 message: The operation failed for some reason. info: C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8\miktex\bin\initexmf.exe
