How to Integrate both Chinese and English references?

• Drive C->program file->EndNote X4->styles• Copy APA_5_TW.ens and paste it into Drive C.• Open MS Word->Save it into three document

formats.1. A resource file with both Chinese and English parameters (有中英文

參數的原始檔)2. A resource file with the Chinese parameter removed (choose

APA_TW format). (移除中文參數的檔案 - 選擇APA_TW格式)3. A finished file (both Chinese and English parameters were removed)

(正式檔 - 中文全形+英文半形+全部去除參數)

• It’s better to use EndNote for English references.• (要選擇存取移除參數的檔案類型時(中文or英文),應視情況

(假設中文文獻多時)而定,再一個一個去檢查英文引用部分。) http://libmgt.blogspot.com/2007/05/endnote.html
