From: Twigg on 13 May 2010 17:43 Is it possible to use Word 2007's built-in citation feature to cite a work in an anthology with the proper MLA formatting for a Works Cited list? This should be formatted as follows: (1) author of the selected work, (2) title of the selected work, (3) title of the anthology, (4) name of the editor preceded by "Ed.", (5) publication details, and (6) the pages in the anthology where the selection appears. Again, my question is if there's a way to get all that information into the Word 2007 citation formatting tool.
From: Yves Dhondt on 13 May 2010 18:04 The answer is certainly yes. The question on how easy it is to do is something totally different. The 'correct' way would be to extend the XSL file to support entries of the type 'Anthology'. But that would be a lot of XML/XSL programming work, which probably isn't what you are looking after. Have you considered entering the data as a 'Book Section' source? The following entry Type of Source: Book Section Author: TheAuthor Title: ThePartTitle Book Title: TheBookTitle Editor: TheEditor Year: 2010 City: TheCity Publisher: ThePublisher Pages: 50-62 returns TheAuthor. "ThePartTitle." TheBookTitle. Ed. TheEditor. TheCity: ThePublisher, 2010. 50-62. which seems to be pretty close to what you want.

"Book Section" seems simply to be Word's cover term for what may have different labels in different style guides. Chicago would call it "Chapter in a book."
