There is a project KCite in the huge KDE world (no, it is not part of 
KOffice!)

Today (UTC), its developer (Pascal Niklaus) has asked on the koffice-devel 
mailing list how the integration with KWord could be done.
However, the news are rather bad, as KWord is missing for now even basic 
intregration of programs that must access directly KWord's text (for 
example a dictionnary.)

If or when KCite itself would support KWord's file format is also unknown.

Have a nice day/evening/night!

Hello,

I am a researcher at the University of Utah.  As such, I have the 
requirement
of being able to write papers containing many citations and the attendant
reference page(s).  In windoze or with a Mac, one can use Word plus EndNote
in combo to easily produce such research papers.  EndNote (if you are not
familiar with it) handles and organizes your bibliography databases and 
also
integrates with Word (or even WordPerfect) so that the writer can easily 
add
citations to a paper.  When ready to print out the final paper, EndNote
generates the correct citation style (user selectable or one can create new
styles) and properly formatted reference page(s) to go with it.  This is 
far
better than having to do this by hand.
