Formatting of TEmporary Citations and Paragraph / Character Styles in Word

(v. 7.19)

When Biblioscape formats the temporary citations in Word it generates strange artefacts. It does use the style specified in the preferences in the body of the text but applies the new formatting not only to the citations it generates but also to the chunks of surrounding text of arbitrary length. This is problematic in the cases when careful styling is already applied to the document. Also, in principle, I would think Biblioscape should adopt the styling that is already applied to the temporary citations in Word. These citations might occur in different portions of the text that require different styles and overriding them messing things up.

The formatted citatioin should use the existing font. This must be a bug in certain cases. Please email me the documents before and after the formatting and let me know where to find the problem. Thanks.

In the next patch release, Biblioscape will use font of preceding text for the formatted citation. If user chose a foreign lanuage character set, font specified in the Options window will then be used.

This sounds OK. Perhaps it would be nice to make this explicit in the Options windows so that users could know when selecting character sets that only choosing 0 ANSI would cause this behaviour.

By the way, do character-set numbers such as 0 ANSI, 3 Invalid or 161 Greek mean something interesting? Is there a specification somewhere one could benefit from looking at?

In the new patch, if user

In the new patch, if user selected ANSI, formatted citation will follow the font  properties of preceding text no matter what fond is selected in the Options window.

"0 ANSI" and other tems are used by Microsoft for RTF format.
