OpenOffice Bibliography Tutorial - Part 3 - Formatting

[Ohrizon]

In this example, the shortname is replaced with a number because we selected "Number Entries" under "Edit Index/Table".

For APA format:

* Uncheck "Number Entries"

* Set brackets to be parenthesis "( )"

* Remove "shortname" from the bibliography format

* Fill in shortnames as "AuthorLastName, Year" - to make citations look like (Johnson, 2011)

MLA format is a bit more complicated because each citation looks different. We are relaunching the website soon and will have pre-formatted templates.

Supercool videos.  How do I format the "short name" of the reference?

@anotherelvis That is: The dafault style of the "short names" of bibliographical references.
