Is there any way to change the bibliography style with VBA, say from APA to MLA?

The macro recorder just records an empty macro
Edit -- Inside the docx in customXml\item1.xml …

… I found a reference to the bibliographic style in XML, but I have no idea how to edit it

Remember: Tell us WHAT you want to do, not HOW you think you want to do it
1. Use [CODE] ....[/CODE ] Tags for readability
[CODE]PasteYourCodeHere[/CODE ] -- (or paste your code, select it, click [#] button)
2. Upload an example
Go Advanced / Attachments - Manage Attachments / Add Files / Select Files / Select the file(s) / Upload Files / Done
3. Mark the thread as [Solved] when you have an answer

4. Read the Forum FAQ, especially the part about cross-posting in other forums

You should be able to do it with code like:
ActiveDocument.Bibliography.BibliographyStyle = "MLA Seventh Edition"

Thanks
The macro recorder didn't give me anything
Using the Watch Window and knowing what to look for, I could see the properties
MUCH easier than trying to mess with the CustomXml
Thanks again
