When references are processed by eXtyles, Word character styles such as bib_article, bib_ journal, and so on are automatically applied to each part of the reference text. If you manually edit a reference after reference processing, be sure that the character styles are correctly applied to the edited text. These character styles can be applied just like any other character styles in Word, that is, via Word’s Styles feature (in Word 2010, access this menu via Home > Styles or press Control-Alt- Shift-S).
In some unusual cases, even when a reference is correctly copyedited, eXtyles may fail to process it correctly. In such cases, you should edit the reference by hand and then apply the character styles directly from the Word Style feature.
The character styles should be applied only to the actual content that is typically highlighted, not to surrounding punctuation. For example, if your organization’s style includes parentheses around the year of publication, apply the bib_year character style to just the year itself, such as (1995), and not to the surrounding punctuation.
Styles that may be used for reference entries include the following:
