Scanning documents and creating bibliography

[nanoboy]

I've been a long time Bookends supporter. Last week, my colleague showed me the new version of Papers which seamlessly scan, unscan, update bibliography list to a Word document without ever leaving the document. This is a huge difference to how Bookends scan which involves: Making a duplicate of the whole document and then replacing the citation code with the bibliography.

Just wonder if Jon has any thoughts?

I've also appreciated Jon's shift replies on this forum all the time, so it'd be a shame that I'm jumping ship to Papers.

Bookends does the same thing (except you temporarily switch to Bookends and then back again to Word after the scan). There is no need to make a new Word document. I'm not sure exactly what you are doing, but you should be using the Scan Document menu option in Word (it's in the Scripts menu, not a word but an icon, at the far right of the Word menu bar).
