Shortened Footnote - help request

deut3221 · Post by **deut3221** » Fri Jun 10, 2005 11:12 pm

Hello,

I am using Turabian for the Bibliography and Turabian Footnotes for the notes. (I set Turabian Footnotes as the "custom citation format" in the Turabian "Bib and Document Options" tab.)

I am trying to get a book footnote to appear as a shortened note after the first occurrence.

Here's what I've tried:
(1) I set the "primary order" codes and the "secondary order" codes to give the desired output.

(2) In the reference, I entered data in both the "Title" and "2 Title" fields (i.e., all primary and secondary fields have data).

Unfortunately though, when I scan the Word doc, I only get primary footnotes. The secondary shortened note doesn't work.

I am (obviously) doing something wrong, but I am not sure what.

Suggestions are very welcome!!

Did you fill out the secondary order field for each Type?

Jon, I filled out the Secondary Order field only in Turabain Footnote (i.e., not in Turabian; recall that Turabian uses Turabian Footnote as the "custom citation format") and only for those types that I referenced (i.e., those types that I did not reference in my document, I left blank in Turabian Footntoe Secondary Order).

I must still be missing something? Thank you very much for your quick response trying to help.

Greatly appreciated!!!

Please send me the edited format you are using (for bib and footnotes) and I'll take a look.
