Angewandte Chemie as Footnote

Renkas
Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of writing my thesis and the 'Angewandte Chemie' Style is perfect and exactely how I want it. The only trouble is, that I need/want it as a footnote and not in a bibliography at the end of the document. I tried to change the class from in-text to note but this messed up the thing (no brackets for the citation and footnotes with no reference but the citation number in brackets). I'm using Papers2 on a Mac with Word 2011.

Any ideas how to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance!

    can't be done, sorry. Not in Papers, not in any other ref manager using Word or LibreOffice (it's likely possible in LaTeX/BibLaTeX).

    Footnotes & numerical styles are fundamentally different, Word and LibreOffice cannot put numeric citations in the footer of the page and what you want aren't footnotes - which opposed to numeric citations are always sequential, you can never have, e.g. 17 followed by 5, even if you've cited item 5 before.

    thank you for the quick reply!

    If I use the Chicago Manual of Style (notes) it is working very well how I imagine it but not with the correct format of the style. I know the problem of a classical footnot vs numeric citations but I don't mind having a reference several time in the footnote.

    maybe I don't get it but in my opinion it should work with these exceptions?

    yeah, but you'll need to modify the style significantly, essentially moving the entire <bibliograph> section into the <citation> section.
    You'll also have to get word to print footnote anchors as [1] - not sure that's possible, but if Papers works anything like Zotero (which I assume it does) it just passes "insert footnote" on to Word, so it has no influence on how the anchor looks.
    You can see if the support folks at Papers are willing to help you with editing the style.

    thank you for your help! I think I get the concept and will try to change it! btw I don't need the brackets in the footnotes but it would be nice in the text.

    Same thing - the footnote symbol in the text is determined by Word.
