Obviously one of the great features of Word in Office 2007 is the citation, reference and bibliography management. Hull University expect us to use the Harvard referencing style for our references which for some reason (I don’t know why) Microsoft made a decision not to include as a built in style for references.

But all is not lost! after a bit (more than I expected) of time searching around on the internet I found out that new styles can be added through the use of .XSL files and then eventually I found that someone had made one for the Harvard system (or at least an interpretation of it which happily matches the requirements of my University)

so if you need to use citations and references in Word 2007 and also need to use the Harvard style of references then simply go to the following site, download the files and place them where it tells you to :)

Thank you Yves!
