I was wondering whether any progress has been made on enabling the creation of Book Chapters from Edited Books already present in the database on iOS, just like we do on macOS. This would be a necessary and key asset for me.

Many thanks!

thanks, I have sent you some sample files by email. Many thanks for your kind assistance in this matter

I am currently testing Word 2011/Bookends integration after having used the Mellel/Bookends combination for a long time. I have the AppleScripts loaded up fine and the transfer of citations to Word is also OK. However, at times Bookends will miss the temporary citation in curly brackets (standard, A...

I have recently installed Bookends 10.6 under Snow Leopard and proceeded to open a database and two formats (I copied them over from an external HDD to the formats folder of Bookends, under Applications) I had created under previous versions of BE and Leopard 10.5 OSX. The trouble I have having is t...

thanks for your note, I have just sent the database and document by email,, hope it can be reproduced...

Hello, I have once again a large quantity of unmatched citations while scanning my Mellel document. I had repaired with success the database that had the EOF error I had previously posted about, and I checked the citation delimiter, its set to semicolon in preferences, yet I get a large quantity (ne...

Hi to all, I was attaching a PDF file to a book chapter entry when all of a sudden a couple of book chapter entries (last couple I added) disappeared and now whenever I click on Book Chapters in the groups column (Groups are created via SQL), the following error message appears in a pop-up window: &...

Hello, I find myself inputting right to left languages (specifically, Persian) quite a lot in the Notes field of a Bookends entry. Would it be possible to add true right to left typing support for some fields, most notable Notes, and and text align correctly in these instances. It would be vastly be...

Hello, a pressing concern of mine is being able to use the Secondary Order across multi volume books. I have one work to cite, in particular, that is 21 volumes big. Instead of creating an entry for each volume, I need to find a way to cite subsequent volumes automatically using the Secondary Order....

Hello, I have a really high number of "Unmatched citations" while scanning from a Mellel document - no matter who much I repair or rescan the database in Bookends (am using latest version of both Bookends and Mellel), I get a lot of unmatched citation errors and a lot of manual selection o...

Hi. not sure if it has been answered on forums or manual, but I would like to know whether Short titles are usuable on multi volume works. For example, say I have a long 20 volume work. Encyclopedia of all Living Animals and Creatures and I want to assign "Living" as Short title when eithe...

thanks, I have sent an email to your personal account (the one you use for support ticket replies)...

Hi, I seem to be having a problem with the Apple] shortcut in Bookends 10.2.1. I use it very frequently to create a new book chapter based on the information provided in the reference selected. The Book Chapter is correctly generated within the databse. However the reference window that appears auto...

thanks for your reply...could I turn this into a feature request for a future update? It would be really handy to have. Is there any way the relationship between two or more different chapters of the same edited book might be highlighted and used in the way I proposed?

many thanks again

Hello, I am extensively using the Secondary order in my custom format. However, I have an issue with it being applied to Edited books. When I quote a second chapter from an edited book, the title of the book is reproduced in full again, as opposed to the secondary order which I would need. So for ex...
