Recommendations?
Also, are there any packages to add scientific terms to the dictionaries of Pages or Word so that it doesn't think they are misspelled (rather than entering them one by one)?

Just to update things a bit. Since late 2010 I have been using Word 2008 (decided to not update to Word 2011) and moved from Bookends to EndNote X4 http://www.endnote.com/ as bibliography manager. I had an old (version 3) license of EndNote, later updated to version 5, and they offered me a nice price for an update to X4. All is going perfectly here.
By the way, some of recent suggestions I read here, are promotions of recent software that, as far as I can understand, can't work together with a reference (bibliography) database and don't even work in Macintosh Operative System. Must be a joke, right?

In your place I would chose something standard, useful for this project and for the years to come. I would go with Word 2008 + Bookends. |
