Thread: Add New Source for bibliography in word by VBA

Hi, there
As when you insert a new source for bibliography in "Word", you can not spell check it. Can I insert a new source by VBA?

Thanks
Regards,
Lily

Hi Lily,

You can do this via code like: ActiveDocument.Bibliography.Sources.Add StrXML

See 'Working with Bibliographies' in Word's vba help file. Note that you have to embed the new entry in XML code. The code example for this in the Help file is:

Sub AddBibSource()  
    Dim strXml As String      
    strXml = "<b:Source xmlns:b=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/" & _ 
        "office/word/2004/10/bibliography""><b:Tag>Mor01</b:Tag>" & _ 
        "<b:SourceType>Book</b:SourceType><b:Author><b:Author>" & _ 
        "<b:NameList><b:Person><b:Last>Hezi</b:Last>" & _ 
        "<b:First>Mor</b:First></b:Person></b:NameList></b:Author>" & _ 
        "</b:Author><b:Title>The New Office</b:Title>" & _ 
        "<b:Year>2006</b:Year><b:City>Seattle</b:City>" & _ 
        "<b:Publisher>Adventure Works Press</b:Publisher>" & _ 
        "</b:Source>"      
    Application.Bibliography.Sources.Add strXml 
End Sub
