Re: Convert Author-Date format to Footnotes

I think I was not as clear as I should have been. I wrote the paper using in-text citations. However, the journal I want to submit it to uses footnotes. Scanning will generate the correct format but it will not replace the in-text citation with a number and move the citation to a footnote (at least ...

Convert Author-Date format to Footnotes

Hello,

Is there an easier way to convert Author-Date citations into footnotes than copy and paste?

Thanks,

Re: Importing Smart Groups

Hmmm. Maybe I don’t understand what is going on.

I want to sync all my references and have both my static groups and my smart groups available on my iPad. I can’t seem to figure out how to do that.

Re: Importing Smart Groups

I am sorry I was not clear enough. I read that section but I didn’t know how to see that dialogue. Syncing works fine but when the sync happens I do not see a dialogue that lets me choose what to sync. However, I did figure out the problem. Somewhere along the line I turned on Autosync in Bookends O...

Re: Importing Smart Groups

Sorry, I seem to be missing something.

How do I transfer smart groups to Bookends on Tap?

Where do I choose “Selected Groups”?

Importing Smart Groups

There is reference in the documentation to smart groups “Imported from Bookends.”

I understand that such groups will become static groups on Bookends on Tap. How do I import them? Will they be changed with any changes to the group in Bookends at the next sync?

Thanks,

Mark

Re: In-text citation Quick Reference

Brilliant!

No, I didn’t know about it.

Very pleasant to discover that what I needed was already there in a better format than I was looking for. Much thanks, Mark

In-text citation Quick Reference

I often find myself forgetting which symbol does what in in-text citations.

I was going to make my own quick reference guide. However, before I do that I wonder if there is an official quick reference guide or if somebody has made one they would be willing to share.

Much thanks,

Mark

Re: Weird PDF Problem

Very strange.

It was easily reproducible this morning but now everything is fine.

If I encounter it again I will send you the PDF.

Sorry for the false alarm,

Re: Weird PDF Problem

Spoke too soon.

Turning off “Use Webkit to display PDFs” and then closing and re-opening the list view solves the problem until I look at another problem PDF with “Use Webkit” turned on.

Weird PDF Problem

Some PDFs get stuck when I display them (but not others and I can’t figure out what differentiates them). Here is what happens: 1. Choose a record with a problem PDF (PDF displays properly) 2. Choose a different record with or without an attachment (PDF from previous attachment displays when attachm...

Re: pdf attachment doesn't show up in preview pane

Worked in safe mode. Works after a normal reboot. Clearly something was amiss. I had tried a reboot earlier with no affect.

I am very happy.

Once again much thanks,

Re: pdf attachment doesn't show up in preview pane

Tried my old Powerbook and it does not have the problem so it is likely an issue with my new MacBook.
