You also need to be aware that Word's implementation of at least some citation/bibliography formats is faulty. Chicago is a particular problem - it has two formats and Word supports only one - that conforms to neither.
Thank you for your reply. Since the .XSL format is not available, the publisher has agreed to take care of formatting the references on their own, so I am off the hook. I have never understood why there needs to be some many formats in the first place, or given that there are dozens of standard formats already, why publishers don't at least use one of the standards.

I would think that a tool to convert formats for the standard style files would be a good idea, but I guess the vendors that create the style files don't have much vested interest in converting to someone else's format.
