Re: [libreoffice-users] Quickstarter is missing from LO3.5.5. onDebian

Was there an extension for bibliography, somewhere?  I seem to remember 
seeing one for OOo before LO came out.

The one issue for a "auto" biblio system is I was taught 2 different 
"preferred" methods to do them at different degree programs.  I was told 
that the "correct" way to do them had changed.  It seemed that a lot of 
things in "tech" writing changes or the years for no better reason than 
to give the "controlling authorities" something to do and give the 
college book makers sales.  I had three different "English writing" 
courses over 15 years and each one had a different way as the "correct" 
way to to bibliographies, footnotes, and other "technical" things in 
"professional papers".

So, for me, if I had to do biblios, I would look up the current 
"correct" way and then do things manually.  I know it is not as easy as 
letting a word processor do the "grunt work", but it worked for me.  
Since I misplaced my writing books 2 moves ago, I do not have any 
current references on the "correct" way of doing them.  I may have to 
get a reference again, one day.
