  Hi David, 
 
The only interfunctionality wikindx has with OO.org is the ability to export RTF -- either a
bibliographic list or a RTF formatted article from the integrated wotrd processor that has all
citations automatically formatted. 
 
A 'citation insertion tool' (is there such a tool in OO.org?) sounds great but I suspect it would
need to wait until I can find someone who is able to program for OO.org. I'm imagining such a tool
would be some sort of plug-in that sits in OO.org and through which users can insert items from the
wikindx directly into the document. If so, does OO.org have the ability to reformat that citation 
from say APA to MLA? 
 
I would love to encourage users to migrate from MS Office to OO.org but I only do PHP and have no
understanding of the internals of OO.org. I would welcome any developmental help. 
 
Mark.

refbase

We use refbase. Is there a way to integrate this with OO.o? --Bmn 23:47, 20 September 2006 (CEST)

Answer Using refbase-0.9.0 and above, you can output formatted citations as RTF file for use with OO.o. Alternatively, you can export references directly to an OpenOffice Bibliographic database in OpenDocument spreadsheet (.ods) format. You could also use the refbase MySQL database directly as a data source in OO.o. For more information, please see OO.o Writer integration in the refbase wiki. Msteffens 11:52, 7 November 2006 (CET)
