Reference list formatting

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

Hi Steve,

I do not know any special bibliography software.
With regular software I imagine two ways:

o FrameScript/ExtendScript
  Of course you could write a script which does everything
  what you want. I doubt whether it will pay off.

o Search and replace all delimiters (space, comma etc.) with tabs, replace
  multiple tabs with single tabs and then copy everything into Excel.
  Then you can rearrange, concatenate, insert commas or en-dashes easily.

Best regards

Winfried
