I don't know how the word plugin generates bibliography but maybe there 
is an option to control which fields are used. I have looked at 
http://www.ee.ic.ac.uk/hp/staff/dmb/perl/b4w_using.html but haven't 
found an answer.

Otherwise you will have to modify the BST file corresponding to the 
style in use. If I am correct, to use Bibtex4Word, you have to install 
MikTeX. So you have a LaTeX installation. I also assume that the plugin 
will use a BST file if it is in the current directory (which is what 
LaTeX and BibTeX does).

Therefore to change the style:
   1) Locate the original style somewhere in MikTex installation 
directory; it's names style.bst
   2) Copy it in the current directory (so you don't override the 
default style)
   3) Make changes. The syntax is a bit hard but each time I have to do 
that, I have found help on the internet. Maybe you could try to ask this 
on stackoverflow (since this mailing list if for jabref).

If that doesn't work, maybe the plugin does not load BST files in the 
current directory. Therefore instead of step 2, simply copy the file 
where you have found it (for instance style_modif.bst) and choose this 
style.

AFAIK biber and biblatex are only for (La)TeX. I have rechecked the 
webpage and it says nothing about word.

Just out of curiosity: can't you use LaTeX? Bibtex has been designed for 
it and with biblatex it is easy to customize the bib.
