How to Create Bibliography in FM?

[Alan Litchfield]

Hi,

FM has never really been that great with such tasks. If it is an article 
you are writing in which you are going to cite references and you want a 
coherent style, then I would suggest using bibTeX/LaTeX or bibLaTeX/LaTeX.

However if you are wedded to FM then you can export your text from FM as 
rtf and use one of the MS Word linked applications like EndNote. Newer 
versions of Word have a built in referencing engine that I have not used 
but others say is pretty good. Given that amount of work you may be just 
as well to go with the above suggestion or type and format the 
references by hand. At least in FM you can define paragraph and 
character styles relative to the reference formats.
