Here is the correct sorting in list view.

Re: Ibid?

I did now download APA 5th Edition and replace with my old one. Feel sort of stupid, I think this is starting to get on the cutting edge of computer software for me. I thought the idea here was that you could change different things in e.g. apa 5th edition to suite your own needs. But anyway now whe...

Re: Newbie Question

Hi, To add the pages you want to cite, do this: 1. Copy Citation as usual. The citation in you document may now look like this: {Smith, 2005, #12345} 2. In your word processor, add the cited pages: {Smith, 2005, #12345@22} Jon Sonny Software When I copy as usual i get this result {Boréus, 1994, #92...

Newbie

Hi, I needed a bribe to get going with an old master thesis that never materializes. I bought the set of Mellel and Bookends. It really feels nice to pay for software. Bookends seems though a bit complex for my needs which makes it more difficult to use. Got a shock when the manual was over 200 page...
