Steve:

I am an extremely happy user of Papyrus v.7 from Research
Software Development. The program is technically a DOS program but can
run in window while your wordprocessor is functioning. You can search
your references by indexed terms, keywords, au, years, journals,
publishers, or any combination and then paste them to the clipboard and
then paste them into the document under preparation. Finally, when the
document is done Papyrus will "Text Extract" the document, replace the
pasted references with what ever format of citation you want (1,2,3... or
Smith & Wesson, 1995), and collect all the references into a file which
then can be imported to the end of the "new" document as the literature
cited. Lastly, the Papyrus data matrix is virtually unlimited so you
have as many references as you have disc space. And speaking of disc
space, the program can save abstracts with the references as well as
comments which are all separate from key words. I personally subscribe
to a weekly reference service and I import those referencs into my
Papyrus data base including the keywords. I put an asterisk in as a key
word to signify that I have a copy of the paper (somewhere in my office
or lab). Hope this is the kind of help you were looking for.
