Word 2007 has inbuilt referencing system that lets the user to cite sources of reference and to prepare a bibliography or reference list. It has limited inbuilt referencing styles. The University in which I am studying has set forth the requirement for referencing style to be Harvard style (AGPS). But the Word 2007 does not support the different referencing styles. I searched on the google and found articles related to this. I found http://bibword.codeplex.com/ to be very useful and used its reference styles.
