Good morning,

I am using openoffice.org 3 on my mac osx.
I use the bibliography tool where the bibliography references come up at the end of the selected document, taking the information from an overall bibliography database.

The problem I am having is selecting which parts of the information I want included in my document. Currently I can only get author, title and year but I want more than this to be shown...

Thank you in advance for your help...

Have a look here:

Also consider looking into LaTeX. There is a nice distro called MacTeX that comes with the TeXShop editor that produces really nice documents with bibliographies.
