<pre>A reference to a Bibliography entry can be created in two ways:
1. Insert
2. Table of Contents, Index, or Bibliography
3. Type: Bibliography
3. Tab: Type
4. Brackets []
5. Insert
6. Table of Contents, Index, or Bibliography
7. Bibliography Entry
8. Select Short name from drop down menu
9. Insert
When you want to find a Bibliography entry in a long document you will have to
do this manually by scanning through all pages of the document. It does not
appear to be possible to perform a search of the type [10]. Hence, finding
entries becomes very time consuming in large documents.
A slightly less consuming way to find entries is the following manner:
1. Insert
2. Table of Contents, Index, or Bibliography
3. Type: Bibliography
3. Tab: Type
4. Brackets [none] <<---
5. Insert
6. Table of Contents, Index, or Bibliography
7. Bibliography Entry
8. Select Short name from drop down menu
9. Insert
In this way you can at least perform a search on the [ bracket, but it is still
very time consuming in large documents.
I suggest to implement a search capability covering also Bibliographic entries.
This would allow, for example, searches of type [10] and 10. An alternative
would be to show the entries in Navigator to allow jumping to the reference of
the Bibliography entry in the document.</pre>
