Import sources.xml from Microsoft Word Mac 2011

I am new to Bookends and am wondering if it's possible to import the list of references that I have from Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 (Version 14). The file is /Users/ ... /Documents/Microsoft User Data/Sources.xml

There doesn't seem to be an option for importing Microsoft Word .xml files in Bookends 11.2.2. Does anyone have any thoughts? I don't see any options in Word to export the citations database in another format.

Thanks!

You can't import Word xml. But if you can format the references in Word (in, say, APA), you might try (in Bookends) File -> Import From Existing Bibliography. Check out the User Guide for how that works.
