No. For several reasons. First, is would have to be a scrolling field (you can have many attachments per reference). Second, it would break existing attachments. Third, there would be no Term List for attachments. Fourth, I see no advantage. I think attachments in the Keywords field works well. Why ...

They work here. Did you have a new proxy server installed perhaps? Contact support directly at support@sonnysoftware.com for advice.

Yes, that's a problem that even a larger button wouldn't solve...the labels are much the same as in EndNote, BTW, except with some abbreviations. And frankly, there is some flexibility here, because different people have different needs, and there are no rigid rules regarding reference information. ...

Hi, You can't customize this. If necessary, Bookends will try to use the first 10 words of the title to create an unambiguous citation. If you have an example where this doesn't work, please send it to me at support@sonnysoftware.com (zip the db first) and tell me why the citation generated is inade...

Thanks, Tom. Of course you are right. They were changed by mistake, and will be changed back to Address and Date.

I have uploaded the revised image for Journal Article.

Here are screen snaps of the proposed new reference Types and fields. This will be the last opportunity to comment on this -- once the next version of Bookends is released, it will be difficult to change. So please take this opportunity to examine the layouts in detail. One specific question: does i...

Hi, The way that seems to work for most people is: 1. Unformat the Word doc (remove EN formatting). 2. Import refs into Bookends via XML (that way, the EN record # becomes the Bookends unique ID). 3. Make sure Bookends is set to recognize the citation delimiters (either {} or [], set in Bookends Pre...

Hi Chemist,

It is quite complicated to implement and, frankly, rarely called for (at least since Science did away with it). So while it is possible that we would add this feature at some time in the future, it's not high on our to-do list.

Hi neuromama, Bookends will always change the case of the "and" to reflect the case of the authors (UPPER, lower, or small caps), so I'm afraid not. The only way to have Bookends do this is not a great one -- global change -> change case for the authors to ALL CAPS, and then turn this off ...

Hi,

This is not the right forum for these questions -- it is for people looking for formats made by other users. Please post it in the Bookends forum so everyone who might be interested in these issues can find it, and I'll be happy to answer.

I found this comment on a web site concerning the "Translated" fields as it pertains to EndNote (http://www.library.uq.edu.au/endnote/unicode8/): "In EndNote 8 and 9, all reference types have a Translated Author and a Translated Title field. This gives the user the option of storing m...

Hi Chemist,

Sorry, Bookends can't do this.

Sure, it's easy.

Take a look at the EndNote (Refer) format as an example to start from. Basically, you output tags (like AU) in front of each field you export. If you don't know what the RIS tags are, either google them or look at the RIS import filter we provide.

Hi frvs, Yes, ISSN/ISBN will move to a new field (and you can use Global Change -> Move Field to quickly fix your existing db). The old ISBN field will be renamed to User4. I'm leaving Translator where it is. Note that the extra fields are really User5-User16. It's just that many will be assigned de...
