*UPDATE 2008/09/28*
There is a .xsl file available from http://www.codeplex.com/bibliography/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=15852 that will put the harvard style into Microsoft Office.
It supports AMA, Harvard and IEEE formats.
Original post:
I was doing a uni assignment for my MBA and i needed to do proper referencing *groan*
A light bulb went off in my head “hey office 2007 has a citation manager in it, lets go!”
It works rather well, it is very intuitive to insert in a new reference source. The only problem is after I had done all this work and then realised “hey, these references don’t look like how I did them in my thesis. Oh thats alright, the citation style was just set to APA, should be as easy as selecting Harvard from the pull down menu. WTF IT IS NOT THERE”
For some reason the Office 2007 developers left out the most widely used referencing style from their citation manager…. But I’ve found a dirty dirty hack for anyone else that needs help on how to do it

Use a combination of APA and GHOST-Title for the appendix and references. Easy

Hi
I need it.
I download what you’ve been stated here but how can I install it.
I just run it and then I got a message from IE and then I said “Allow…..” and then and then… but nothing happened. I checked all references styles but still they are same. Thank you.

Thanks for this, I’m really happy that this worked!
To Rama and others: I clicked on the url at top of this site, saved the zip file ’styles’ into the suggested file path, closed and re-opened Word, and hey-presto the extended list was there. Just gotta work out if I should use Harvard-Leeds or Harvard-Anglia! ( a much better problem to have!)

Hi!
Any idea if there is a version for Office 2008 for Mac, I havent been able to find one, and Mac seem to make these things very complicated!
Many thanks

The deadlinedue harvard reference generator allows you to generate citations by just entering the ISBN number or book title.
