No bibliography appears in Pages 09

Post by Dr. T »

I'm a new Bookend user. I'm running a Macintosh 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 8 GB 1066 MHz DDR3, OS X 10.6.4 and BE 11.0.7. I'm using Pages from iWork09. I have entered one citation as {NameYear} and tried to scan and format the document. Preferences/Scan and Bib/Temporary Citations/Citation Delimiters ARE set to {}. When I scan in BE, or using the Pages script in the script menu bar menu. In each case, the scan and save to file seems to work fine, but when I open up the formatted document, there are absolutely no changes. The citation is still in the text and there is no bibliography. I looked in the FAQ and manual, but did not find any help (maybe I'm blind). Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Hi. Make sure the citation is in the body of the text (not a header). If that's not it, you should contact support@sonnysoftware.com with your Pages document and database (both zipped).

Re: No bibliography appears in Pages 09-SOLVED!

Jon's attention to customer needs is exemplary and unusual. He worked on my 15,000 entry bibliography and a Pages document, identified a problem with some unknown formatting within the text file, created a new text file, repaired the library, and adjusted the internal cache size. No more problem! So, solution: check for unusual formatting within the text file first. If you have a huge, new library, take a few minutes and "repair" it. Make sure, again for huge libraries, that your internal cache size is sufficient.
