As follows I will show you how to use Bibtex4Word.
This tool allows you to include BibTeX references
into Word documents.
I have installed Jabref which is an editor
for .bib files.
In this case, I have a BibTeX database named db.bib
which contains a set of bibliography references
that we will use in this particular example.
Prior to run this example,
be sure that the Bibtex4Word add-on has been installed.
You can see it in this tab
(click on it)
A new set of icons are exhibited.
You will learn how to use them through this tutorial.
Now, load the .bib file that was previously loaded by JabRef
click on the icon over here
look for that .bib file
here is, db.bib. (double-click on it)
Now it has been loaded in memory by the add-on.
Lets write
"Esta es una primera referencia usando Bibtex4Word."
Next step is to select an entry in the .bib file
which would be referenced in our document.
Select one (Right-click on it)
and copy the BibTex key in the buffer.
The key has been copied.
For inserting it into the Word document,
lets click on this icon. (red plus sign icon)
Since the selected reference is in the buffer,
select "paste", then click on "OK".
Lets insert a second reference.
Lets select another entry from the .bib file.
Copy the BibTex key
and select again the icon with the plus sign.
Paste the BibTex reference.
Now we are ready to insert the bibliography section
which is inserted with this icon.
As you can see, the bibliography section
has been now inserted.
Lets add a third reference
and we select a third entry from the .bib file.
Copy the BibTex key,
add it (paste it).
With this icon, lets rebuild the bibliography references.
There is a "plain" format which has been used up to now.
It assigns numbers for the references.
The "alpha" style can be also used.
Letters and numbers are used as labels for the references.
As you can see the format for the references changes.
We can go back to the prior format
just typing "plain" then "OK" and we got it.
That is the way how this add-on for Word can be used
for inserting BibTex references in a Word document.
