Autofill from Internet no longer doing anything

Autofill from Internet is a great feature when needing to update citations. But with Bookends 13.4.7, the Autofilling References window appears (although in the background) and it never finds anything to update, even when I delete page numbers, authors, etc just to test. Any ideas? Thanks.

Potential improvements

Migrated here over a year ago from EndNote and very happy I did. That said, even though Bookends rocks, there are a few things that I'd love to have considered for future enhancements: Better window management: Bookends always fails to open in full screen mode, even when quit in full screen mode, un...

Re: references and bibliographies output in white text in Word

Thanks. That did not change anything however. Still getting white on white (which was great for Malevich but not so good for Word).

references and bibliographies output in white text in Word

I'm using 13.4 and Word 16.38 on a Mac running Mojave (not Catalina). Only seeing this now and not in past versions: when scanning references in Word or even just creating a bibliography outputted to Word, with my font unchanged (Calibri 12) in Bookends preferences, I get white text. No big deal to ...

Re: Italics in short titles.

I'm having the exact same issue with this version of Bookends (13.25). I had not changed fonts but even if I change to Arial, I get no italics in the journal name whatsoever (and in the Formats Manager, j is indeed italicized). Thoughts? Thanks.

v13.25: creating bibliography list changes sort

I often take a hit list of references sorted by first author and create a file with the references. They always respect the sort order in Bookends (ie, last name of first author). However, the latest version of Bookends seems to create an order in the resultant file that is not in any clear order. F...

Dumb question: how to now remove Add-Ins from ribbon

Since there is now a dedicated bookends ribbon item (thanks!), I'm forgetting how to remove the Add-Ins one that I no longer need. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Re: window management

Thanks Jon. Yes, I do have tabs on by default. But changing that doesn't make any difference, actually.

2. OK. I can make that work with the option key. Thanks.

window management

It's a bit problematic. First, unless I'm in full screen mode or else have actively resized the window, the icons at the bottom are not displayed. Screen Shot 2018-12-17 at 3.46.02 PM.png But even worse, if I'm in full screen mode, the attachment window doesn't display the reference list, making thi...

Re: Search no longer opening in a tab

Interesting. All I do is click the tool button for Online Search in the main library window and now I get a separate window for the search and search results. Not a big deal, but was curious if the window behavior had changed (I had searches display in a separate tab previously as mentioned). Thanks...

Search no longer opening in a tab

I have Mojave's prefs set to open things in tabs automatically, and that is how it worked with Bookends until now, at least on my end If I did a search, it was in a tab separate from the bibliography window, but now it always opens in a separate window (I'm running 13.1.5). Is this a new default beh...

Re: Floating citations not working

So it might have something to do with management of displays or spaces. If I place Bookends in the same space as Word and make word the front-most application, it works fine. But if Bookends is in a different space or on another display (I span monitors), then it doesn't display the FC window.

Re: Floating citations not working

Wow. That worked. Thanks; should’ve tried that myself.

Odd thing though: the floating citations window appears fine over the Bookmarks app, but not Word. I'll try playing around with it.It literally disappears when I switch to Word, yet the FC window has the Word icon.
