[comp.sys.mac.apps] Reference lists in FrameMaker 2.1

6500dby@ucsbuxa.ucsb.edu (Bruce Young) (06/06/91)

I just got FrameMaker 2.1 for the Mac, and it looks like a
really good program. It does everything I'd want for writing
a technical thesis... Except allowing references to be listed
at the end of the document, rather than at the bottom of the
page. Does anyone have any experience with FrameMaker, and is
there any way to get it to list the "footnotes" at the end
of the document? It seems strange for a program which includes
a phenomenal equation formatting program, only useful in
technical documents, to not allow this, since most papers
submitted to journals, and most technical books, list their
citations at the end of the paper.

	Frame is supposed to be working on bibliography support, but
it will not be in the intial 3.0 release and I have no idea how good
the support will be once they do add it.  In the mean time, you need
to use a biblio making program such as EndNote.  Although EndNote does
not directly support Frame files, you can get it to work with
FrameMaker.  Anyone interested in learning how should send me a
message and I'll send you the instructions.
