Hi all, I've finally started to read the Bookends manual in depth, but I'm having trouble parsing the Import Filter section. Does anyone happen to have any recommendations of where I might be able to find a guide to import filters for the absolute beginner? I'd look myself, but I'm not quite sure wh...

Thanks for this! Very helpful.

Hi everyone, I have what amounts to a quite simple question about import filters. I've been using autocomplete to fill out my references, with Google Scholar as my chosen database. I've been noticing however that when the reference in question is a journal, the volume field is left blank. I then loo...

Hi, I tried following the tips on the link, and after a lot of trial and error, I was finally able to create a bibliography! Removing the images shrunk the file down significantly (to about 300kb), but I still wasn't able to generate a bibliography. I tried converting all the footnotes to endnotes, ...

Yes, the document has about 20 images. I'm sure that's the problem! Thanks so much.

Hi, I'm just wrapping up my dissertation and I'm finally getting ready to generate a bibliography for my numerous citations. For reference, my word processor is word 16.16.27 and I'm using the most recent version of Bookends. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble actually generating the bibliography. Wh...

Thanks for the response! It took me a while to respond because I wanted to do some more experimenting. I have to admit that I'm not sure what you mean by citing "by content" - I am already using "Author, Date, Unique ID," just introducing additional characters into the page cited...

Hi, Quite a few of the references I cite come from premodern publications that are divided up into complex subsections of books, parts, and chapters. However, I'm struggling to come up with a way to cite these subsections without creating an unmatched citation. At the moment, this is the problem cit...

Hi, I'm sure that this is an easy fix, but I'm encountering the following problem. Several of my citation formats feature fields in the final position that are occasionally absent. This results in the citation ending with a comma rather than a period. For example, in the following citation format, f...

Hi everyone, This might be an easy question, but I'm having trouble coming up with the best format multivolume works for subsequent citations. I'm using Chicago, so I'd like my output to be something like this: Brown, Book Title , I:36. Ideally, I'd like for this format to work even when the volume ...

Hi all, I'm trying to cite letters according to the Chicago Manual of Style, and I'm having a bit of trouble with the first/last name orders. Here are a couple of examples (taken from the CMOS17 page) that illustrate the problem. Footnote: Adams to Charles Milnes Gaskell, Baden, September 22, 1867, ...

Hi,

I just started using the barcode scanning function on bookends for iOS. It works really well for my personal books, but I haven't gotten it to work for library books. Is there anything I can do here? I apologize if there's a quick fix that I'm simply not seeing.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm using autocomplete from paper to fill in the reference fields for a number of book reviews. This is working fine, except for one hitch: the "Title" is generally filled in as a blank, since Book Reviews generally do not have a title. Instead, the relevant information is listed under...

I'm a new user of Bookends and I'm seeking guidance on merging my zotero library of references into bookends, along with my pdf library from Devonthink. I'm planning to import my reference library from zotero and my pdf library from bookends. What I'm concerned about is matching the new references t...
