Perfect — thanks

If I wanted to empty a field globally, is there an easy way to do this? (I wanted to repurpose a field I had used early on.)

I went to Global Change and selected the field, but it doesn't look like RegEx or wildcards work there. Am I missing an easy fix?

Thanks.

Many thanks — good for comparison.

I'm wondering if there's a setting I'm overlooking: I can't seem to get a macro from Keyboard Maestro to work in Bookends, which used to work. If I test the macro from Keyboard Maestro is brings up the dialogue (in this case Refs > Global Change > Restore Default Font & Style…). But if I'm in Bo...

Bookends is correctly distinguishing different citations from same authors in same years by adding a letter to the end of the year for the in text citations. But it's not giving those letters in the bibliography that was generated. Am I overlooking a setting? Bookends 13.4.6, OS 10.14.6 Thanks. Victor

Thanks, Jon -- that helps. On further experimentation, it's clear I had quotation marks all wrong. Does this look right? The rule for ~ quotations: Text between ~ quotation marks is printed if and only if it is bound to a nonempty field; and a quotation can only bind to fields which are immediately ...

I also have a question about how quotation marks of a single type are parsed -- how Bookends decides which goes with which. It doesn't seem to be from left to right. If I use the format v$ ($u4~)~|~, ~n$:$p–. $Reprinted in $b where u4, n, and b are all empty fields, I get something like the follow...

Is this a fair summary? 1. Any text between any pair of quotation marks, of any type, will print if there is a space following the close quotation mark. 2. But they differ when they are immediately adjacent to a field, that is, not separated by a space (or a pipe, in the case of ~ quotation marks): ...

I've been fooling around with this, reading and rereading the manual (esp. pp. 132-4), but I'm still having a little trouble understanding how quotes, force quotes and binding quotes work with both preceding and successive fields. Through trial and error, I've gotten the output I wanted, but it's st...
