Default Advanced Citations

Need some assistance with citations from Word for Mac 2008 to Word 2011. Let me explain my circumstance.

I write essay papers regularly. When typing in 2008 I can simply click and hold "command, option, f" and it will insert a numeral at the end of a sentence. Simultaneously it also inserts that numeral in the footer of the document. The numeral in the doc is hyperlinked to the one in the footer. Then from my citations list or resources I can double click the resource being cited and it inserts the necessary information for the citation.

In 2011, when I do the same steps on the double click it now only inserts the author and year in a parenthetical quote. I have to click bibliography or Works cited to get the full detail in the doc. That manner of writing is for research papers, essays written only in APA or MLA style, not the more current methods of Turabian or Chicago MS.

In 2011 there is options to choose which citation style one prefers. This nets no new manner of the citations being inserted. They all do the same, APA, MLA, Turabian, Chicago. Looks like somebody forgot to make this work or there is a setting somewhere which I could not discover.
