Actually, i know a program that does the job 'à la endnote', multi 
platform, multi word processor, bibus.

http://bibus-biblio.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

I've not checked extensively, but in coordination with refdb, the goal 
was to set up a working refdb repository and allow bibus to use it 
(instead of its own mysql db).

After, bibus can be sued to insert citations into Word, OpenOffice.org.

But some coding is needing, and i'm lacking two major ressources:
- good coding skills
- time ...

Cheers,

Stéphane
