This page illustrates how you can format citations in a manuscript written in OpenOffice/StarOffice. This is a view of the manuscript, "raw" reference numbers are inserted as "refscite(ref-number)":
The manuscript is marked and copied to the clipboard:
The manuscript is then copied from the clipboard to the References text editor:
References is used to generate an OpenOffice/StarOffice (BASIC) macro for search and replace operations and this macro is then loaded into the text editor:
The macro is copied from the text editor to the clipboard (The macro format of References v4.1h and earlier looks completely different, the alternative format has fewer restrictions):
The OpenOffice/StarOffice macro dialog is opened:
"Module1" is opened for the macro created by References:
Paste the References macro into the BASIC editor (before pasting the code, delete anything from the text editor):
This is the text before converting citations:
Execute the References macro ...
... and see the text with converted citations (e.g. "refscite(87.01.12.01)" --> "[1]"):
