- <td colspan="4"> Many institutions require their documents
-to conform to a specific Style Convention, which covers aspects of
-document format, including the styles of bibliographic tables and
-citations. [Citation: a short note recognizing a source of information
-or of a quoted passage.] There are a number of Style Conventions: these
-include MLA, ASA, PSA, Harvard, Chicago. These different styles differ
-in the way in which they present citations and references for different
-types of source documents, such as books, articles, journals,
-collections etc. If a document has been written with one Style
-Convention it is a laborious task to convert all these references to
-another style. The ideal would be a fully automated method of
-conversion. Most word processor users who require good bibliographic
-support purchase commercial packages such as Endnote and Reference
-Manager. The products have good integration with Microsoft office.
-OpenOffice will need to provide similar bibliographic support if it is
-to gain acceptance amongst academic and educational users and
-institutions.</td>
