Yes, I was thinking in another kind of problem, that of creating a list of 
references, but you are talking about a manuscript. Sorry for that.
What a pity that Papyrus is not being updated anymore. Now I use Papyrus in 
combination with Endnote. In papyrus I store all my references and 
notecards. I write my papers in Word with Endnote. The trick is that I 
import to Endnote from Papyrus all my references, every time that I feed 
papyrus with new references.
This way I do not have to process a manuscript and Endnote is much more 
flexible than Papyrus when it comes to creating the bibliography and 
in-text citations.
Regards
Roberto
