Both ProCite and EndNote (products of RIS, now owned by ISI) have this
feature built into their latest versions. 

BookWhere 2000? itself is often available at steep discount from
producers of other programs with which it integrates well.  For example,
Nota Bene for Windows (http://www.notabene.com/nb1.html) offers
BookWhere 2000? for $99 (sometimes less) to registered users of its
Scholars Workstation (which includes Ibidem, similar to ProCite, and
Orbis, a textbase, along with the NB word processor); I think some other
vendors do the same.

You may want to search the archives of either the PROCITE Bibliographic
Software Discussion List at

or those of the BIBSOFT discussion list (for discussion of software for
citations and bibliographies) at

	http://listserv.indiana.edu/archives/procite.html

The ProCite Discussion List has a web page with plenty of useful links at
