Why I lose bibliography numbering when I switch to IEEE - Alphabetic Order style in Word 2007?

Question

When I use IEEE - Reference Order style for my Bibligraphy table I get the references numbers OK. Well formated as [2].

But when I switch to Alphabetic Order style I lose the numbers, and in their places always is [BO]

What should I do?

Answer 1

As this style does not come with Word, you probably downloaded it somewhere. Didn't it come with instructions at the download site?

Answer 2

Well, the FAQ on that first link seems pretty straightforward:

Q: Why do I get 'BO' between brackets instead of a number when using the IEEE - Alphabetical style*?

A: The IEEE - Alphabetical* style requires the BibWord Extender tool to function properly. This tool will decide the on the numbers to place instead of 'BO'.
