Weird. Will run some tests on a clean Mellel file to see what I'm doing wrong.

Disambiguation only seems to work with author-date citation formats, from what I tested. Guess I'll have to set my citation format to always display the short title. Oh well, no big deal.

I use a customized version of the ABNT standard (because the standard itself is crap, not Bookends's implementation of it) with a custom citation format going in the footnote. Is there a way to get this custom format to function with disambiguation? I use "op. cit." for repeated references and the ...

Hello again,

I am successfully using the import & autocomplete from an on-campus location, therefore IP-authenticated. However, there is this odd behavior going on: the first time I click "search", I get an alert box saying it requires IP authentication; if I click a second time it returns a result ...

On a related note, the autocomplete function doesn't seem to recognize my proxy server.

I use a proxy to get IP authentication for JSTOR. It works under Safari. It works on Bookeds' Web Search tool. But with Autocomplete it says I am not IP-authenticated. I suppose this is a bug, or am I missing ...

On a related note, is it possible to have Bookends not rename downloaded pdfs from the internet search window? When attaching a file manually I can turn it off, but when importing references it will not give me this option. Since I do all my pdf management from within Bookends I have no need for ...

Oh wow… Hadn't realized that… Thanks!

I'll hitch a ride on this topic and ask for a terms list for the City field. Usually when dealing with humanities the same cities come up quite frequently: Cambridge, Paris, New York, Milan, São Paulo… It would be convenient to have a city autocomplete.

In the attachment inspector, the "+" and "-" have become invisible (but they still work if you click where they ought to be).

More important, this version apparently refuses to recnognize user-created bibliography formats, whether they were created before updating to the beta or directly in the ...

I would think this is because Word has a nasty way of using the same temporary text delimiters for every kind of dynamic content, including citations and bookmarks. Something may have gotten out of hand if Bookends interprets the bookmark as a citation.

Thanks; no big deal, I only ever use one format for citations anyway.

OK, I thought there would be some metadata in the pdf for Bookends to read.

I have found a way to get Bookends confused. When I input both page numbers and a custom text in a citation I get "???" as the scanned output. For example:

{Author, Title} >> works fine.
{Author, Title@123} >> works fine.
{Author, Title\, § 456\} >> works fine.
{Author, Title@123\, § 456 ...

How exactly do we "reconfigure" the JSTOR filter to work with downloaded pdf's? I have a bunch of files I downloaded before the Bookends upgrade which are waiting to be classified.

It would be nice to have a feature similar to Apple's Mail.app, where you right-click on the dock icon and it gives you the option of creating a new message without showing the main application window. When I'm dealing with references from pdf files I don't want to have my screen cluttered with the ...
